The NHL postponed two days of playoff games yesterday and today in protest of racial injustice, joining the NBA, WNBA and some MLB teams who are sitting out games. The decision was made after members of the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks were prepared to sit out their playoff game, and in the face of criticism from Black players for not taking action. The four second-round games missed will be played on Saturday.
