For the second time in a matter of weeks, the NHL have found themselves conflicting with the NFL, and ultimately, they've made the smart move to reschedule once more.

The rescheduling will happen on January 21st as the Detroit Red Wings will take on the Tampa Bay Lightning, but due to an NFL game between the same two cities, the game will now be at 7PM ET, rather than 5PM ET.
NHL has moved the Jan. 21st game between #GoBolts and #LGRW from 5 PM EST to 7 PM EST, likely due to the recently scheduled NFL playoff game between #RaiseTheFlags and #AllGrit that starts at 3 P.M.

(coincidence that it's Tampa vs Detroit in both leagues on the same dayright?)

Given that it will be the final game of the season for one of these teams, it makes sense for the NHL to move their game back slightly to accommodate fans of both teams.
