Also scoring for the Rangers included Rick Nash, Marc Staal and Carl Hagelin.

Chicago's other three goals were scored by Patrick Sharp, Kris Versteeg and Bryan Bickell.

[12] The inaugural Stadium Series was the basis for a seven-part documentary called NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other, premiering January 22, 2014, on the NBC Sports Network, and debuting in Canada the next day on CBC.

The series was meant to differ from the pre-existing HBO 24/7: Road to the NHL Winter Classic with an added focus on star players' preparations for the 2014 Olympic Tournament in Sochi, Russia, of which NBCSN and CBC were major broadcasters.
