The start to the game Monday between the Detroit Red Wings and Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena is delayed by at least one hour due to a problem with the ice's cooling system.

We are working to fix the issue, but warmups will be delayed until the issue is solved. Thank you for your patience. #DETvsCAR
