The game between the Dallas Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets that was postponed last week when Stars forward Rich Peverley collapsed on the Dallas bench has been rescheduled for April 9 in Dallas.

The original game played on March 10 was stopped at 6:23 of the first period due to Peverley's cardiac emergency. The rescheduled game will be played for a full 60 minutes of regulation time, plus any potential overtime and shootout.

At the time the game was stopped, the Blue Jackets were ahead, 1-0, on a goal by Nathan Horton, with assists to Matt Calvert and James Wisniewski. All other statistics from the game will be expunged.

Peverley, 31, will miss the remaining of the season after surgery aimed at regulating his heart rate.
