A preaseason game that was supposed to take place Sunday night between the St. Louis Blues and the Columbus Blue Jackets has been cancelled. The Blues issued an announcement from GM Doug Armstrong saying "Due to an unforeseen mechanical issue with our chartered aircraft, we are unable to travel to Columbus for tonight's game. We apologize to the Blue Jackets and their fans for this inconvenience."
There's no word on the exact issue with the aircraft. Columbus released a statement saying those with tickets would receive a refund.
"We regret the inconvenience the cancellation of today's game will cause our fans, but after discussions with the Blues there was no viable option that would've resulted in our being able to play the game today,” said club president Mike Priest.
Sunday is the last day of preseason action before the start of the regular season Wednesday.
