The NHL postponed a dozen games originally scheduled from Dec. 20-23 "due to the concern about cross-border travel and given the fluid nature of federal travel restrictions."
All matchups featuring a Canada-based club versus an American team during that span will take place at a later date.
Here are the games that the league will reschedule:
Date Away Home Dec. 20 Montreal Canadiens New York Islanders Dec. 20 Anaheim Ducks Edmonton Oilers Dec. 21 St. Louis Blues Ottawa Senators Dec. 21 Vancouver Canucks San Jose Sharks Dec. 22 Canadiens New York Rangers Dec. 22 Winnipeg Jets Dallas Stars Dec. 22 Oilers Los Angeles Kings Dec. 23 Blues Toronto Maple Leafs Dec. 23 Carolina Hurricanes Senators Dec. 23 Canadiens New Jersey Devils Dec. 23 Ducks Canucks Dec. 23 Oilers Sharks
The NHL also said Sunday that its regular-season schedule will continue aside from those postponements, and a decision on the league's Olympic participation is expected "in the coming days."
Shortly after the NHL revealed its cross-border decision Sunday, the league also confirmed the Detroit Red Wings are holding off on playing through at least Dec. 26. Detroit had two games scheduled in that span - a home date against the Colorado Avalanche on Monday and a road clash with the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.
A rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in both countries has already forced five clubs to shut down temporarily and two more to halt play this weekend. On Friday, the NHL postponed all Calgary Flames, Avalanche, and Florida Panthers games until at least Dec. 27. On Saturday, the league added the Boston Bruins and Nashville Predators to that list while putting the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks on pause through Sunday.
The NHL's holiday break will run from Dec. 24-26.
