The NHL will finish its Lake Tahoe outdoor game between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights at 9 p.m. local time (midnight ET), after the game was paused due to deteriorating ice conditions following the first period.
Puck drop for the game was at 12:12 p.m. PST, under intense sunshine that was melting snow around the rink and causing problems with the ice.
The Avalanche lead the Golden Knights 1-0 after the first period on a goal by defenseman Samuel Girard. The teams left the ice for their dressing rooms and remained there until NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced the game would be completed later Saturday evening.
