NHL postpones February outdoor game set for North Carolina

The NHL Stadium Series outdoor game set for Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina has been postponed from its scheduled date of Feb. 20, 2021.

"While we are extremely disappointed that we will not be able to host an outdoor game this season, the health and safety of our fans remains our top priority," Carolina Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said in a statement. "We look forward to hosting the game in the near future and rewarding our incredible fan base with an unforgettable experience."

The contest on the NC State campus is slated to be the NHL's 32nd regular-season outdoor game, and the first to feature the Hurricanes. Other historic college football venues that have hosted NHL games include Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis.
