The Ottawa Senators and Colorado Avalanche may be going on an extended road trip next season.

The two clubs are "likely" to play two regular-season games in Sweden scheduled for November, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

The decision must be approved by the NHLPA before being finalized, and an answer could be coming within two weeks, Dreger adds.

Both captains - Erik Karlsson of the Senators and Gabriel Landeskog of the Avalanche - are natives of Sweden, adding a nice tie-in to the potential event.

The NHL hasn't traveled to Europe since 2011, when the Ducks, Sabres, Kings, and Rangers all opened their seasons stationed across the Atlantic, playing games in Finland, Sweden, and Germany.

Beyond a possible European expedition, Dreger reports the Kings and Vancouver Canucks are likely to travel to China for a slate of exhibition games, which also depends on approval from the player's association.
