The New York Rangers will not be playing the Detroit Red Wings as scheduled on December 27th. Per an NHL statement, the league is postponing all games on that date.

NHL Release:

The National Hockey League announced today that its regular-season schedule will not resume prior to Tuesday, Dec. 28. The League had planned to resume its schedule on Dec. 27, but in order to allow the League an adequate opportunity to analyze League-wide testing results and to assess Clubs’ readiness to play, the target date for resumption of game play will be pushed back an additional day. Teams will return to practice on Dec. 26 and it is expected that the League will provide an update on its return to play plans by the end of day on Sunday.

Rangers vs Red Wings Postponed

The Rangers released a statement soon thereafter that read in part:

As a result, the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings game scheduled for Monday, December 27 at 7:00 p.m. at Madison Square Garden is being postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. We will communicate directly with ticket holders. All tickets purchased for the originally scheduled game can be used for the rescheduled date. 

New York’s next game is on December 29th in Florida against the Panthers.
