Monday's game between the Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators has been postponed due to extreme weather conditions that have caused significant power outages in the Dallas area, the league announced.
The postponement came at the request of Dallas mayor Eric Johnson. The American Airlines Center is on the same infrastructure grid as the convention center and hospitals, according to Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News.
"We need those up," the mayor's spokesperson told DeFranks. "I don’t know the status of that grid, but frankly, the Stars game is not critical infrastructure. It’s just not."
Tuesday's game could also be postponed.
"If it's the same situation, power-wise, we’ll ask them to not have the game tomorrow either, postpone it," the spokesperson said.
