The Vancouver Canucks were in a fog.

No, this isn't a commentary on the team's rebuilding process, but rather the literal state of affairs as the team practiced at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China, in advance of an upcoming preseason game against the Los Angeles Kings.

Here's a look at the conditions:

"I don't think I saw (Anders) Nilsson all practice," said fellow goaltender Jacob Markstrom, per Rick Dhaliwal of News 1130.

The fog eventually cleared in time for the Kings to practice.

The two teams will face off at this arena on Sept. 21 followed by a rematch on Sept. 23 at Wukesong Arena in Beijing.
