NFL monitoring L.A. wildfires; NHL postpones Flames-Kings game

An NFL spokesperson said Wednesday that the league is keeping tabs on the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area with respect to Monday's NFC wild-card game involving the Minnesota Vikings and host Rams in Inglewood, Calif.

"The NFL continues to closely monitor developments in the area and will remain in contact with both clubs and the NFLPA," the league said.

The NHL, however, postponed Wednesday's game pitting the visiting Calgary Flames and Los Angeles Kings. A makeup date was not announced.

"The thoughts of the entire NHL family are with the Kings, hockey fans and the people of the Los Angeles area during this difficult time," the NHL said in a statement.

Multiple wildfires ravaged the Los Angeles area on Wednesday, killing at least two people, causing many more to leave their cars in the streets and destroying more than 1,000 structures.

Las Vegas or Glendale, Ariz., are likely options should the game need to be moved.

"Our hearts are with those affected by the Palisades wildfires and the first responders protecting our community. Be safe," the Rams wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
