MUSKEGON, MI - After 40 minutes of play the game between the Muskegon Lumberjacks and USA Hockey's NTDP Under-17 team on Saturday night has officially been postponed.

The Lumberjacks were holding onto a 3-0 lead after the second intermission thanks to goals from Matvei Gridin (Kurgan, RUS), Ty Henricks (Mission Viejo, CA), and Joe Connor (Amherst, NH) with 1:18 remaining on a powerplay to start the third period.
