Oilers-Jets outdoor game delayed by sunlight

The start of the Heritage Classic -- the outdoor game between the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers at Investors Group Field -- has been delayed by sun.

The game was originally scheduled to start at 3 pm ET, but a new time has not been announced by the league.

According to multiple reports, the NHL has concern over glare on the ice from the bright sunlight. Temperatures in Winnipeg were in the mid-40s Fahrenheit, and the ice was covered leading up to game time.
