The PWHL announced Tuesday that PWHL New York will play two home games at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., home of the NHL’s New Jersey Devils.

New York will host Boston on April 20, then Ottawa on April 30.

“It’s a privilege for PWHL New York to be welcomed with such enthusiasm and professionalism by the New Jersey Devils family,” said Pascal Daoust, PWHL New York General Manager. “In this special season, it is an exciting opportunity for us to reach even more fans from the Tri-State area to come together and experience the PWHL and see the best women’s hockey in the world.”

Tickets will go on sale March 28. The April 20 game will be a celebration of Pride, while the April 30 matchup will support Mental Health Awareness.

“We are thrilled to host the Professional Women’s Hockey League at Prudential Center for their first two games in the Garden State,” said Dylan Wanagiel, Vice President, Sports Properties and Special Events, Prudential Center. “Having women’s professional hockey here expands upon the diversity of events at Prudential Center and the Devils’ long-standing commitment to inclusion and growing the game of hockey.”

The Prudential Center will be the seventh NHL venue to host a PWHL game this season. Prior games have been held in Minnesota Wild’s Xcel Energy Center, the New York Islanders’ UBS Arena, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Scotiabank Arena, the Detroit Red Wings’ Little Caesars Arena, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ PPG Paints Arena.

On April 20, Montreal will host Toronto at the Bell Centre, home of the Montreal Canadiens.
