The National Hockey League announced today that Monday night’s scheduled game between the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues at Xcel Energy Center has been postponed due to 7 p.m. curfews put in place by the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The actions were announced as part of a state of emergency declared by the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul, in response to a night of social unrest in reaction to the police shooting and killing of Daunte Wright, a black motorist, in the Twin Cities suburb of Brooklyn Center.
The game has been rescheduled for May 12, and will be the final game of the Wild’s 2020-21 regular season.
