Hurricanes’ road game Tuesday against Flyers postponed because of COVID issues
The Carolina Hurricanes have another game postponed because of COVID-19 issues that will need to be rescheduled.
The NHL announced Monday night that the Canes’ road game Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers had been postponed “due to COVID-related issues affecting” the Flyers.
It’s the seventh game the Canes will need to make up during the season as the league continues to grapple with COVID impacts. Five of Carolina’s postponements are road games.
The Canes are next scheduled to play Thursday at PNC Arena against the Columbus Blue Jackets. They also have a home game set Saturday afternoon against Vancouver.
The Canes (24-7-2) practiced Monday morning at the Wake Competition Center, then took a team flight to Philadelphia.
“The schedule hasn’t been ideal the last couple of weeks,” Canes forward Jesper Fast said last week. “You’ve just got to take it day by day and have the right mindset. I think last year was a pretty hectic schedule, too, so I think we know what to expect.”
