RALEIGH, N.C. -- A scheduled game between the Carolina Hurricanes and Detroit Red Wings was postponed Monday night because of unplayable ice.A Freon leak in the cooling system at PNC Arena was discovered earlier in the day. The issue was fixed, but not in time to restart the game. NHL rules state a game cannot start less than 22 hours before a teams next scheduled contest, and the Red Wings are set to play at Tampa Bay against the?Lightning?at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday night.It was the first time a hockey game at the arena -- which opened for the 1999-2000 season -- was postponed because of technical issues.Carolina announced a delay on Twitter about 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of 7 p.m. ET, then publicized the postponement around 8:45 p.m. ET.Hurricanes president Don Waddell said a makeup date would probably be decided on Tuesday or Wednesday.Ive seen games cancelled for ice storms and weather, but this is the first one Ive seen because of a seal in the compressors, Carolina general manager Ron Francis said. I dont remember an issue similar to this. Its certainly frustrating.Waddell said the problem was indicated by a computer at about 6 p.m. ET.We had to fix the part that broke and then bring the gas in to fix the Freon, Waddell said. The problem was that the ice temperature got up to about 30 degrees, so once we started chilling it, it was dropping; but at the rate it was dropping, we could not have been comfortable with it until about 9:45. And the safety of the players obviously is first and foremost.Waddell said the normal ice temperature at the start of a game is 18 degrees, but the temperature when the game was postponed was 24 degrees.Ive never been a part of something like this, Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. But the No. 1 concern has to be the safety of the players and the referees. It was determined we could not get the ice conditions to where they needed to be in time, since were playing tomorrow, as well.As Detroit captain?Henrik Zetterberg?added, Its just one of those things. Well get into Tampa a little earlier and there will be a morning skate, instead of the optional. Thats the only difference [for Tuesdays game].The Hurricanes wrote on their Twitter account that they will post ticket and parking refund information on the team website.Three NHL games were postponed in January because of a massive snowstorm.

Hes finally in the place he expected to be this season -- the Detroit Tigers starting rotation.Norris makes his second start for the Tigers in the finale of a nine-game homestand Wednesday afternoon against Miami. Detroit is 5-3 on the homestand after defeating the Marlins 7-5 on Tuesday.The second-year left-hander got a no-decision against Seattle on Thursday, allowing three runs -- all solo home runs -- in five innings with five strikeouts. Hes trying to solidify a spot in the five-man rotation.As of right now, I just appreciate every day that Im here, said Norris, who will be making his first career appearance against the Marlins.Its understandable he feels that way after a rocky road back to the majors. Norris was the top prospect the Tigers acquired in the non-waiver deadline deal that sent ace David Price to Toronto last season. He made eight starts with Detroit last season, going 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA.Norris was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after the season and underwent surgery in late October. He was pronounced cancer free but suffered a back injury in spring training.He was sent to the minors during his recovery and wound up making 11 starts for Triple-A Toledo before he was recalled.I felt like I couldnt catch a breath for awhile, he said. It was just one thing after another. I just tried to wake up thinking good thoughts and being positive about it. Sure, I had some days where I said Whats going on here? When I hurt my back in the spring, it was really hard to focus because I had so many expectations for this year. Those had to be delayed but I knew my time woulld come at some point.ddddddddddddDetroit manager Brad Ausmus believes Norris biggest challenge now is not dwelling on his mistakes.The progress Id like to see from him is not beating himself up so much when he gives up a hit or a home run, Ausmus said. Youve got to learn to put it behind you because it might affect the next batter youre facing.Miami altered its rotation for the next two games. Right-hander Tom Koehler starts against the Tigers while lefty Wei-Yin Chen will pitch the series opener at Atlanta on Thursday. Left-hander Adam Conley started Tuesday and couldnt get out of the fifth after tossing four scoreless innings.Its really a chance to give (Chen) a little bit of a breather but Atlanta is just stacked with lefties and these guys (the Tigers) are stacked with righties, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. It makes a little sense for us to flip those two guys and it also allows us to split our lefties, rather than having them back-to-back.Koehler has only faced Detroit once -- a late September start in 2013 when he pitched 5 1/3 innings in a 3-2 victory.Miami is 9-5 over its last 14 games with the aid of some stellar defense. Its infield has not committed an error since May 29, a 27-game streak. Its the longest such streak since at least 1913.In general, I think were a good defensive team, Mattingly said. Weve got a lot of guys that catch the ball well. It was a trademark before we got here. Its one of our strengths that were usually in the right spot. We were a little rough early but for the most part, we havent given up a bunch of extra bases or extra outs. ' ' '
