DEVILS GAME AGAINST PENGUINS IN ATLANTIC CITY POSTPONED

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – The Albany Devils contest against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall has been postponed due to unfavorable ice conditions. A make-up time and date is to be determined. Fans in attendance were given a voucher for any future Albany or Trenton games at Boardwalk Hall.

“We had a figure skating event here last night,” said Boardwalk Hall General Manager Greg Tesone. “We had to paint the ice white to paint over the top of the hockey lines so the lines weren’t visible. Our crew worked all night to cut the paint back out. You shave off ice until you to get back to the hockey ice. We shaved too much; the ice got too thin. Those were the areas that you saw broke off during warm-ups.

“At this point it’s going to take a while to get back to the thickness we need to play safely and we just weren’t able to get there fast enough.

The Devils next game is Friday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Norfolk.
