The WNBA has rescheduled its preseason game between the Los Angeles Sparks and Seattle Storm in Canada from May 5 to May 4 to avoid conflicts with the NHL's first-round playoff games. The original date clashed with the potential Game 7 of the Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings series. Last year's WNBA preseason game in Canada set records for Canadian TV viewership, attendance, and merchandise sales.
