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 at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday night.Carolina announced a delay on Twitter about 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of 7 p.m., then publicized the postponement around 8:45 p.m.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.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.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.Added Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg: 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 Tuesday).The Hurricanes wrote on their Twitter account that they will post ticket and parking refund information on the team website.It was the first time a hockey game at the arena -- which opened for the 1999-2000 season -- was postponed because of technical issues.Three NHL games were postponed in January because of a massive snowstorm. The Washington Capitals postponed games against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Anaheim Ducks, while the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders also held off on a game in Brooklyn.Game notes Carolina is scheduled to practice at PNC Arena on Wednesday at 11 a.m. ... The Hurricanes have gotten points in nine straight home games (8-0-1). ... Detroit won its first meeting of the season with Carolina 4-2 at home on Oct. 25. ... Carolina won the three-game series with the Red Wings last season, winning twice on the road and losing at home.UP NEXTRed Wings: Visit Tampa Bay on Tuesday night in what will be the opener of a two-game trip.Hurricanes: Visit Buffalo on Thursday night before returning home on Friday against Boston.

MOSCOW -- A year after the release of a damning report into widespread doping, Russian track and field is hopeful of a way back into the global fold.On November 9, 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agencys independent commission unleashed a strongly worded, 323-page account of how Russian athletes, coaches and officials had colluded in the use of performance-enhancing drugs before and after the 2012 London Olympics.That report set in motion a year of turmoil and legal battles for Russia, which had more than 100 athletes in various sports barred from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, including all but one member of the track and field team. The Russian track federation remains barred from international competition, with no date set for when it could return.Weve lived through a hard year, very hard, All-Russian Athletics Federation general secretary Mikhail Butov told The Associated Press. Not just regarding the participation of our athletes at the Olympics, which was the most important thing for us, but in terms of recognizing the situation and understanding which way to go.Despite being under the heaviest sanctions in track and field history, Russian officials insist they are making progress on anti-doping reforms and plan to send athletes to major competitions in the coming months. The main target is the European indoor championships in Belgrade, Serbia, from March 3-5, federation president Dmitry Shlyakhtin said after talks with IAAF representatives in Monaco.The IAAF will hold a special congress in Monaco on Dec. 3.Any Russians who are allowed to compete will probably have to accept neutral status in IAAF events rather than officially representing Russia, Butov suggested. The IAAF declined to comment on the talks.The work has continued and there is something to show for it, Butov said.The only Russian who competed in track and field at the Rio Games was long jumper Darya Klishina, who was allowed to take part under IAAF rules because she had been based in the U.S. for several years, away from the Russian drug-testing system, which faced accusations that offficials and lab staff had covered up hundreds of failed tests.ddddddddddddRussian track and field officials and athletes hope the IAAF will accept individual athletes applications to compete, even if the federation as a whole remains suspended.Now it seems as if that criterion about living abroad can probably be disregarded, Butov said. The issue now is that the testing that has been done in this period is considered convincing and guaranteed to give an athlete the opportunity to be considered for competition. If its not like that, itll be an endless process.The Russian drug-testing agency has been suspended for almost a year, with testing carried out in reduced numbers by Britains anti-doping agency. Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov said the situation was totally unacceptable because UK Anti-Doping plans to collect only 6,000 samples in 2017, compared to the 20,000 collected by the Russian agency at its peak. He said that only national team athletes are being targeted for testing, leaving youth and junior athletes out of the system.So, in a situation like this, why not to find a fast-track way to give the accreditation back to RUSADA and to renew its activities, especially since it is under the full control of WADA? Zhukov said in a speech to IOC officials released Wednesday. What is preventing this? For our part, we would like to appeal to you as WADAs founders to assist in the prompt reinstatement of the Russian anti-doping agency and the anti-doping laboratory in their rights.Among those who missed the Rio Games was hammer thrower Sergei Litvinov, who had hoped to compete in his first Olympics.Ive spent the whole year on edge, he said.Litvinov, a vocal critic of drug use, had requested extra drug-testing by the IAAF to prove he was clean, but still came under the Russian teams ban. He still doesnt know when he can compete again.Whatever will be, will be, he said. It could all change at any moment.
