The NHL has been forced to postpone yet another game after closely monitoring the situation surrounding Winter Storm Elliott.

The storm is currently in hitting the Midwest States and is expected to move towards the Eastern Seaboard later today. Due to that, the league has the difficult decision of whether or not to postpone games in the interest of fan and player safety.

Yesterday the league made it official and postponed the Tampa Bay Lightning and Buffalo Sabres game scheduled for Friday evening. However, it hasn't stopped there:

NHL Game No. 534 on Friday, Dec. 23 between the Detroit Red Wings and the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre has been postponed, and rescheduled to Monday, Feb. 27 at 7:00 p.m. ET, due to severe winter weather expected to impact the area.
