Another game gets postponed in the NHL and protocols have nothing to do with it

And it’s happening again… 

Thursday night’s game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars has been postponed, marking the third straight Stars game postponed due to weather.

“As a result of ongoing power issues caused by severe weather in the Dallas area, and after consultation with Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson’s office, Thursday night’s game between the Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning at American Airlines Center is also being postponed,” the NHL said in a statement.

The Stars had their back-to-back games against the Nashville Predators set for Monday and Tuesday both postponed earlier this week.

The league announced several changes to the schedule on Tuesday and more will need to be made shortly.
