RALEIGH, NC - The National Hockey League has announced that tonight's game between the Carolina Hurricanes and Detroit Red Wings at PNC Arena has been postponed after the ice surface was deemed unplayable.

"We apologize to our fans who made the trip to PNC Arena tonight hoping to see the Hurricanes extend their nine-game home point streak," said Hurricanes Team President Don Waddell. "A mechanical problem arose early this evening with the cooling system that keeps the ice solidified. We hope to announce a make-up date for our game against Detroit, as well as an exchange policy for the fans who had tickets to this game, in the near future."
The Hurricanes will next practice at PNC Arena on Wednesday at 11 a.m., before flying to Buffalo. Carolina visits the Sabres on Thursday at 7 p.m. (FOX Sports Carolinas, FOX Sports GO, Hurricanes Radio Network). For information about Hurricanes ticket packages, please visit
