The city of Boston and the Northeast part of the United States was the hardest hit by winter storm Nemo and the Boston Bruins game on Saturday was delayed in response to it due to emergency conditions.

According to ESPNBoston.com, the NHL decided to postpone the game between the Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lighting on Saturday, since the storm was expected to cripple the city. The league released a statement on Saturday and said that a makeup date had not yet been scheduled, since off-days are scarce in the lockout-shortened schedule.

A statement released by the league said "travel conditions remain too hazardous for fans, security personnel and TD Garden staff to get to the arena."
