NEW YORK, NY (NEWS1130) – The National Hockey League has cancelled the remaining games of the NHL preseason schedule due to the current labour uncertainty.

The league had previously eliminated the first half of the exhibition schedule.

The cancellations include the final three games of the Canucks exhibition season. Vancouver was to host Phoenix on Monday, October 1st, visit San Jose Wednesday, October 3rd, and finish with a home game against Edmonton Friday, October 5th.

The news comes just a day before the NHL and the NHLPA return to the bargaining table in New York.

The two sides have blocked off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for meetings after spending more than two weeks away from the bargaining table.
