Both clubs have agreed to re-play the fixture on Sunday 14 March, with a 5pm face-off.
Saturday's game at the Odyssey Arena was halted with two seconds of the second period left to play due to problems with the ice.
"We would like to apologise to everyone that was in attendance on Saturday Night," said General Manager Todd Kelman.
"I feel bad for the fans, I really do", he told UTV.
"It's a technical difficulty. It's happened once in 600 games. The ice just chipped away."
Play was stopped for a period as staff tried to fix the problem before the game was eventually called off.
"My business head said: 'Lets' play this. We've got 4,000 people in the building. Let's play this game so they have something.' But the reality is you've got your goal and your star players right in that area of the ice. If he pulls his groin or his knee as he's pushing into cement instead of pushing in the ice... You can't do that", Kelman explained.
"I'd be a lot more disappointed if one of our players got seriously injured."
Tickets from the original game will be valid for the replay match on Sunday 14 March.
The Edinburgh Capitals are now looking to re-schedule their game on Monday 15 March against the Cardiff Devils.
