NHL RESCHEDULES SATURDAY'S SENATORS-PANTHERS GAME

Expected weather conditions in South Florida shift contest to Dec. 5

NEW YORK - The National Hockey League today announced the rescheduling of Saturday's scheduled game between the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers at BankAtlantic Center. The game will be played Monday, December 5, at 7 p.m., ET.

The game was rescheduled due to unpredictable weather conditions associated with Hurricane Wilma.

"We rescheduled this game because so many fans and Panthers employees have left the area, and because we want to ensure safe travels into and out of Florida for the teams and the officials," said NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. "We thank the Senators and Panthers for their cooperation."
