The NHL postponed the Global Series games it had planned for next season, delaying but not rescheduling the 2020-21 season opener between the Boston Bruins and Nashville Predators in Prague, Czech Republic in October, as well as two games between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Colorado Avalanche that were to be played in Helsinki, Finland.
The NHL and NHL Players’ Assn. issued a joint statement Friday saying the games had been postponed but they didn’t offer an explanation.
“The NHLPA and the NHL remain committed to maintaining and growing our international presence,” the statement said.
