As we reported to you earlier in the evening, a serious road accident caused a delay for the game between the Penguins and the Canadiens.
The game was moved from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
It's an extremely rare occurrence to see an NHL game delayed because of a road accident.
WTAE releases images of the accident that delayed the start of the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins
WTAE has indeed just shared images and a video of the accident in question.
The great news here - and clearly the reason why a video was shared publicly - is that no injuries were reported following this spectacular accident.
"Interstate 279 (Parkway North) is closed to southbound traffic on Thursday evening because of an overturned truck in Allegheny County.
A tractor-trailer is on its side, blocking southbound traffic and causing backups stretching north of the Wexford exit on I-79.
Pennsylvania State Police said the truck was carrying approximately 46,000 pounds of steel coils.

And you - have you ever seen this, an NHL game postponed due to a road accident?
Of course, it's worth remembering that tonight's game in Pittsburgh will be quite special, notably for young goaltender Jacob Fowler, who will be making his very first career start in the National Hockey League.
I really hope it goes well for him!
