NHL postpones Wednesday's game between Winnipeg and Seattle; extends regular season
The National Hockey League announced on Tuesday that they've decided to postpone tomorrow's game between the Winnipeg Jets and Seattle Kraken due to a winter storm in the forecast for the Manitoba capital.
In a statement, the NHL said, "Tomorrow night's game between the Seattle Kraken and Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre has been postponed due to expected extreme weather conditions in Winnipeg beginning later today. The game has been rescheduled for Sunday, May 1, at 1 p.m. CT. The decision to postpone the game at this time was made in order to minimize the potential disruption to the regular-season schedule in the event the severe weather that is expected to hit the Winnipeg area were not only to force cancellation of tomorrow night's game, but also prevents timely and necessary post-game travel, including, specifically, the Jets' ability to travel for their game in Florida on Friday, April 15."
With the game now scheduled for May 1st, this means the regular season has been extended by two days, as the 2021-22 campaign was set to end on Friday, April 29th
Environment Canada currently has Winnipeg under a Winter Storm Warning and says that the city is expected to see anywhere from 30-50 cm of snow along with 60-70 km/h winds over starting on Tuesday night.
The Winnipeg Jets will now have to wait until Friday before they're in action again, when they take on the Florida Panthers in Sunrise.
