Severe winter weather in Columbus forced the postponement of Monday's NHL game between the Los Angeles Kings and Columbus Blue Jackets. The matchup, originally set for Nationwide Arena, has been rescheduled for March 9. Both teams completed morning skates before the league's announcement at noon.
The Columbus Blue Jackets fired head coach Dean Evason and assistant Steve McCarthy on Monday, replacing them with veteran Rick Bowness, who emerged from retirement at age 70. The team, sitting last in the Eastern Conference with a 19-19-7 record, is seven points out of a wild-card spot. Bowness aims to instill defensive structure during a crucial stretch of home games before the Olympic break.
