Rainouts in baseball obviously happen far more frequently than cancellations in hockey. If there was going to be a rule for hockey, I can't see any reason for it to be different than the baseball rule, but the fact is apparently no one ever thought to make one.

In the absence of a rule I'd tend to think the default would be no action, so I can't say this was a horrible call by the book. It's definitely a big-time bad beat though.
