RED WINGS-HURRICANES PPD
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – A scheduled game between Carolina and Detroit was postponed because of unplayable ice.
A Freon leak in the cooling system at PNC Arena was discovered earlier in the day. The issue was fixed, but not in time to restart the game. NHL rules state a game cannot start less than 22 hours before a team’s next scheduled contest, and the Red Wings are set to play at Tampa Bay at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday night.
Carolina announced a delay on Twitter about 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of 7 p.m., then publicized the postponement around 8:45 p.m.
Hurricanes President Don Waddell said a makeup date would probably be decided on Tuesday or Wednesday.
FLAMES 4, COYOTES 2
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Kris Versteeg put Calgary ahead with its third power-play goal of the game in the third period to beat Arizona.

T.J. Brodie put in an empty-net goal with a minute to play to complete the scoring. Mikael Backlund also scored and Matthew Tkachuk added two assists for Calgary.
Christian Dvorak and Ryan White scored for Arizona, and Mike Smith had 25 saves.
