BREAKING: Game CANCELLED today due to rink damage
There were no games yesterday due to it being U.S. Thanksgiving, and the NHL is making up for that today with some really early start times and loading the schedule with games.
Unfortunately one game will not go on as planned as the Nashville Predators rink, Bridgestone Arena, is flooded.
A water main which was feeding water to the arena burst and has caused some serious flooding damage.
