The NHL has postponed tonight’s Capitals-Flyers game at Capital One Arena. The announcement comes after apparent COVID-related issues with the Flyers. TSN’s Darren Dreger was first to report the news:
TSN’s Frank Seravalli was first to confirm that the game had been postponed:
This is the third Caps game to be postponed in less than 24 hours, as the Caps-Sabres two-game series this week was postponed yesterday. Unless some of Washington’s rescheduled games get moved to the second half of this week, the Capitals will now have a week-long break before their next scheduled game – a Sunday afternoon game in Pittsburgh.
The Capitals were supposed to debut their Reverse Retro jerseys in tonight’s game as well, so it looks like Caps fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the Screaming Eagle in action on the ice.
Update: The NHL released an official statement on the postponement at 1:21 this afternoon.
Lastly, we’re just going to drop a link to this article from yesterday that feels more and more relevant by the hour…hint: Greg is right, it’s time to press pause.
