An unlucky scenario has arisen in Columbus which may result in the NHL having to cancel tonight's game featuring the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets.

NHL Could be Forced to Postpone Game Tonight

The NHL is being put in an awkward position to start their "Frozen Frenzy" event, a night which will see every team play at staggered start times. According to Frank Seravalli, a power outage in Columbus has resulted in the postponement of the Blue Jackets-Ducks game from 6:30 to 8:30.

Sounds like #CBJ and #NHLDucks are aiming for an 8:30pm ET puck drop with the power outage currently affecting Nationwide Arena in Columbus.

Originally scheduled for 6:30pm ET as part of 16-game staggered schedule.

This was one of the earlier starts for tonight's event, which features 16 games and every team in the League. It's an unfortunate hiccup as all eyes fall on the NHL.

No Repeat of Lights Out in Seattle

This is the second time in just a matter of days that the NHL has seen issues regarding lights and power at one of its arenas, as the Seattle Kraken and New York Rangers were forced to play under modified circumstances as a result of poor lighting in Seattle's arena.

A section of lighting at Climate Pledge Arena has gone out so there's a noticeable dark area at one end of the ice 😅

Hopefully, the lights will come back on in Ohio and the NHL's Frozen Frenzy will be able to feature every team in action.
