WHAT WE'VE MISSED
Thursday: Opening night. Four games were scheduled, including Boston at Philadelphia.
Friday: Five more games were wiped out. The Los Angeles Kings would have raised their first Stanley Cup championship banner to the rafters.
Saturday: Day 3 of the season (12 games) and the Wild's season opener, at home against Colorado. Plus no debut of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in Wild sweaters.
