One day after an NBA player-led walkout forced the league to postpone games and led to other leagues doing the same in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake, the NHL appears to be following suit.

The NHL is expected to postpone games through Friday, with all eight remaining teams affected, reports TSN's Darren Dreger, who adds that the league is finalizing Saturday's schedule.

On Thursday night, the New York Islanders were scheduled to play the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 3 of their second-round series, followed by Game 3 between the the Vancouver Canucks and the Vegas Golden Knights. On Friday evening, the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning were scheduled to play Game 4 of their matchup, which was to be followed by Game 4 between the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars.

More to come.
