NHL announces a trio of postponements for this week

The NHL will emerge from its extended holiday break on Tuesday night with three games, but on Monday afternoon, they announced a trio of postponements for later this week which involves Chicago, Winnipeg, Colorado and Dallas.

"The National Hockey League announced today that, due to COVID-related issues, the following three games have been postponed: Wednesday, Dec. 29, Chicago @ Winnipeg, Dallas @ Colorado and Friday, Dec. 3, Colorado @ Dallas.
Make-up dates for the games have yet to be established," the league said.

Yesterday, the NHL announced changes to rosters and reintroduced taxi squads in order to prevent further postponements. In addition to that, they also announced that Columbus vs Chicago, scheduled for tomorrow night, as well as Toronto-Pittsburgh, and Boston-Ottawa, scheduled for Wednesday night, have been postponed.

Since December 13th, over 70 games have been postponed and the NHL will use the three-week Olympic break in February to make up as many games as possible.

The Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning will play the NHL's first game since December 21st on Tuesday night at 7pm ET.
