The National Hockey League and Minnesota Wild have announced another schedule change, moving Wednesday’s game against the Arizona Coyotes to 1 p.m. Central. The game is the second contest affected by the ongoing protests related to the shooting of Daunte Wright by police in nearby Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
The afternoon game will televised locally on Bally Sports North Plus and broadcast on KFAN FM-100.3 radio.
Wednesday’s game was originally scheduled for an 8 p.m. local start, but two nights of standoffs between with police and the Minnesota National Guard have caused Minnesota sports teams to modify their schedules out of respect as well as the safety for everyone involved.
