NHL Postpones Blues vs. Wild After Police Killing of Daunte Wright

The NHL announced Monday's game between the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues has been postponed after the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota:

A police officer shot and killed Wright, a Black man, during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb Sunday afternoon, via CNN. The police said he was initially pulled over due to an expired tag but they later learned of an outstanding warrant. He was shot while attempting to return to his vehicle.

The Minnesota Twins announced they would postpone their game against the Boston Red Sox Monday and the NBA game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets was also postponed.
