NHL cancels games through Nov. 1
The NHL has canceled all games through November 1, 2012, pushing the total of games wiped out so far to 135. A few weeks ago the league canceled all games from October 11-24. Labor negotiations remain contentious.
It is still possible that the NHL could have a full 82-game regular season if a deal is reached by Thursday, October 25, 2012. However, no further labor meetings are currently scheduled, so chances of a last minute deal are slim. If a last minute deal is reached, the NHL claims it would hold a one-week training camp before a full 82-game schedule could begin on November 2.
