The NHL game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Calgary Flames scheduled for Wednesday night has been postponed due to the ongoing wildfires in California.
This is the first sporting event to be affected by the wildfires, with the Los Angeles Lakers still slated to host the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night.
The Kings announced the postponement just before 3 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday afternoon, about eight hours before puck drop.
‘Our hearts are with our entire Los Angeles community. We appreciate the hard working First Responders who are diligently working to contain the fire and protect our community.’
‘We appreciate the Leagues support in keeping our fans, staff, and players safe.’
‘For those with tickets for tonight’s game, please hold on to your tickets. There is nothing you need to do. The tickets will still be valid for the rescheduled date. More information and ticketing options will be communicated directly once the game date and time are confirmed.’
