NEW YORK – The National Hockey League announced today that, due to concern for a rising number of positive cases as well as the potential for continued COVID spread in the coming days, the Boston Bruins’ and Nashville Predators’ games will be postponed at least through the scheduled completion of the League’s Holiday Break in the schedule on Dec. 26.
This impacts Carolina Hurricanes games scheduled for Sunday, December 19th at PNC Arena and Tuesday Dec. 21 in Boston.
Additionally, due to a number of Toronto and Vancouver Players entering COVID protocol over the past two days, tonight’s Toronto-Vancouver game and tomorrow’s Arizona-Vancouver and Toronto-Seattle games have been postponed.
The decision was made by the NHL’s, the NHLPA’s and the Clubs’ medical groups.
The League is in the process of reviewing and revising its regular season schedule.
The Bruins’ postponed games to date include: Dec. 18 @ Montreal; Dec. 19 @ Ottawa; Dec. 21 vs. Carolina; Dec. 23 vs. Colorado.
The Predators’ postponed games include: Dec. 19 @ Carolina; Dec. 21 vs. Winnipeg; Dec. 23 @ Florida.
The Bruins, Predators, Maple Leafs and Canucks organizations have followed, and will continue to follow, all recommended guidelines aimed at protecting the health and safety of their Players, staff and communities at large as set by the NHL, local, state/provincial and federal agencies.
Tickets for tomorrow’s game will be valid for the rescheduled game (date to be announced later). Individual-game ticket buyers who are not able to attend the game on the rescheduled date will be provided with additional ticketing and refund options once that date has been announced. Season ticket members who would prefer to exchange their tickets out of the game can do so within their Account Manager. Tickets which have been forwarded to someone else are still valid for the rescheduled date, or they can be returned to the original buyer for exchange. Tickets and price points purchased during the Black Friday sale will only be honored for the rescheduled game and will not be transferable to any other games.
