NHL: 2011—


View NHL Map 2011— in a larger map

As the 2011-12 season dawns, Atlanta's second stint in the NHL ends as the Thrashers are sold and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba for that city's second chance with a team. They are also named the Winnipeg Jets just like their predecessor, which is still in Phoenix.

Elsewhere, the Tampa Bay Lightning are rebranded with new logos and uniforms. The Nashville Predators implement a simplified version of their primary logo and a color palette that relies more on gold. And the Los Angeles Kings change their uniforms, promoting their alternate logo to primary mark. Additionally, the Florida Panthers bring back their red sweaters, warranting an update to their map icon.
