After the NHL’s players took a step away from the Stanley Cup Playoffs to create space for conversations of systemic racism and the need for change, the league will resume play on Saturday.
Games on Thursday and Friday were postponed after a player-led movement pushed for time away from the ice to focus on long-needed discussions, following the lead of other leagues throughout the professional sports world. The NHL announced its support of the players’ decision on Thursday, and its plans to revise the schedule to accommodate the two-day postponement.
The revised schedule for the remainder of Round 2 is below:
