The Utica Comets have announced the rescheduled date for Monday's postponed game, which will resume already in progress. There was about 2:30 remaining in the second period with the Comets leading Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 2-1 when the power and all of the lights went out at the Adirondack Bank Center.

The Comets, along with the AHL and Penguins, announced the remainder of the game will resume on Tuesday, January 24th at 7:00 PM. The Comets will be leading 2-1 with under three minutes to play in the second period. The Penguins will then move on to Rochester to play the Amerks on Wednesday night.

The postponement came after a power outage at the Adirondack Bank Center that started  outside in the power transformers that malfunctioned and tripped. A gear system that operates the electricity failed to bring the transformer back online, according to Comets President Robert Esche. Esche added that it was a perfect storm, because the generator system that should have kicked in, also malfunctioned. Esche said had the generator kicked in, the game most likely could have resumed.

Esche added that the outage did not cause damage to the ice and the Comets will be set to play at home on Friday night.

The Comets step onto the ice again for a game against Cleveland on Friday at the Adirondack Bank Center at 7:00 PM before hitting the road for a game against Providence the following night.
