Darren Dreger notes that the NHL will announce that games through 12/30 are going to be cancelled.

The Ranger games cancelled are:

• 12/16 against Anaheim
• 12/20 against Florida
• 12/22 against New Jersey
• 12/29 @ Tampa Bay

As @michaelgrange points out, there was talk of the NHL canceling games up to Jan 15th and essentially giving a drop-dead date.—
