Remaining preseason games canceled

The NHL announced today that because of the lockout, the entire preseason schedule has been canceled. Games had previously been canceled through Sept. 30. For the Kings, it means that the following preseason games will not be played…

Oct. 1 vs. Anaheim at Honda Center.
Oct. 6 vs. Anaheim in Ontario.
Oct. 8 vs. New York Rangers at Staples Center.

Next up on the chopping block, of course, would be the start of the regular season. For the Kings, that would be the Oct. 12 home game against the New York Rangers. There have been published reports that the league and players will resume talks tomorrow in New York, but certainly no indication that a resolution is soon to arrive.
