Edmonton's Rogers Place Sustains Water Damage Ahead of NHL Restart

Rogers Place, the home of the Edmonton Oilers and a co-host for the NHL's restart beginning Aug. 1, sustained significant water damage on Thursday from a storm, per TSN.ca.

Oilers Entertainment Group released a statement Thursday that the damage should not deter the arena from hosting games, with the first one scheduled for July 28 between the Calgary Flames and Oilers in an exhibition matchup.

"A significant storm came through [Edmonton] earlier this evening. As a result, Rogers Place has suffered some water damage to the terminus of Ford Hall, along with some smaller leaks in other parts of the building.
