NHL postpones Friday's Senators-Red Wings game due to severe weather

The NHL has rescheduled Friday’s game between the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings due to severe weather affecting the Ottawa area, the league announced Thursday.

The game has been rescheduled for Feb. 27.

It’s the second game the league has postponed in recent days.

On Wednesday, the NHL announced it was postponing Friday’s game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Buffalo Sabres, also due to severe weather.

A winter storm is expected to arrive in the national capital region on Thursday night, and on Friday a significant drop in temperature could make roads icy and “treacherous,” according to Environment Canada.

Despite the weather report, the Senators are hosting Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals Thursday night at the Canadian Tire Centre.
