PITTSBURGH -- The 2010 NHL Winter Classic has been moved to an 8:00 p.m. ET start. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the postponement late Friday afternoon.
By moving the game between the Penguins and Capitals from its original 1:00 p.m. ET start, the NHL is avoiding the potentially unseemly sight of more than 60,000 fans waiting out a lengthy rain delay in the stands of Heinz Field. Weather forecasts continue to call for driving rainstorms and unseasonably warm weather on Saturday afternoon.
Gates to Heinz Field will open to the public at 5:30 p.m ET. Weather-related contingencies for the game are still in place for the 8:00 p.m. ET start.
