The puck will drop at Centene Community Ice Center at 1 p.m. ET on May 16, and the final game of the showcase will be at Enterprise Center, home of the Blues, at 7 p.m. ET on May 17.
A limited number of tickets will be available for fans for the May 17 game.
Previously, the event had been scheduled for April 11 and 12 with star-studded rosters featuring the likes of Kendall Coyne Schofield and Jincy Dunne.
