The NHL has postponed a Los Angeles Kings home game with several wildfires still burning across the greater LA area.

The NHL postponed the Los Angeles Kings' home game against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday with several massive wildfires still burning across the greater Los Angeles area.

Wednesday night's game between the Los Angeles Kings and visiting Calgary Flames has been postponed due to ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

The Los Angeles Kings have announced that their game against the Calgary Flames, originally scheduled for Wednesday night, has been postponed due to wildfires blazing across California. No makeup date has been announced.

An NFL spokesperson said Wednesday that the league is keeping tabs on the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area with respect to Monday's NFC wild-card game involving the Minnesota Vikings and host Rams in Inglewood,

There was no immediate date available for the rescheduled contest, which had been slated as the Kings’ final clash at home before a five-game road trip set to begin Friday in Winnipeg. Tickets for Wednesday’s game against Calgary will be valid for the rescheduled match.

The Kings play at Crypto.com Arena, formerly the Staples Center, located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.

It is not often that the NHL gets touched by outside factors but today we found out that the NHL will be postponing today's Kings game due to the wildfires.
