NEWARK, NJ – The New Jersey Devils’ pre-season game against the New York Islanders was called off Thursday night due to a power outage at part of the Prudential Center.
Lights in one area of the arena went out before the start of the match and could not be restored. After consulting with the NHL and the Islanders, it was decided that conditions were not suitable for both teams and the game was called off.
The Devils finished the preseason 4-1-0 and open the regular season at home on Oct. 15 against Chicago. The Islanders are 3-0-1 and close the preseason on Saturday against the New York Rangers.
The Islanders will visit Carolina on October 14 to open a 13-straight stretch of the road to start the season as construction ends on UBS Arena, their new home next to the Belmont Park racetrack.
