Blizzard postpones Bruins-Lightning


BOSTON -- The NHL has postponed the Boston Bruins-Tampa Bay Lightning game Saturday due to the weather-related state of emergency that remains in effect in Boston.
A makeup date has not been announced.
In a statement released by the league Saturday afternoon, with even both teams and on-ice officials in Boston, "travel conditions remain too hazardous for fans, security personnel and TD Garden staff to get to the arena."
The game was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, but the start time was moved to 7 p.m. due to the blizzard that hit the area. It was finally postponed in the middle of Saturday afternoon. The Boston area received more than 2 feet of snow on Friday night and Saturday morning.
The Bruins are scheduled to play at Buffalo on Sunday. The Lightning head to New York for a game Sunday night against the Rangers.
