before we get to election day, president obama and republican presidential nominee romney, go head-to-head in person one more time. it's debate number three. it's in boca raton, florida. it's happening tonight, at 9:00 p.m. eastern. before you watch the debate on cnn or at cnn.com/debates, ana jones gives us a preview. >> reporter: the third face-off will focus entirely on foreign policy. from afghanistan and pakistan, to israel, iran and the changing middle east. the candidates will spar over america's role in the world. the new face of terrorism, and how to deal with a rising china. mr. obama tried to highlight one of his biggest foreign policy accomplishments at a light charity dinner in new york.

>> monday's debate is a little different because the topic is foreign policy. spoiler alert, we got bin laden. >> reporter: for his part, romney could try, again, to bash the president for his administration's messy response to the attack in libya last month, and link it to what he says is a failed approach in the region. >> this calls into question the president's whole policy in the middle east. look at what's happening in syria, in egypt, now, in libya. >> the challenge for president obama is going to be defining the middle east strategy going forward. i mean, he's had some successes. he's had some things that are still pretty murky. >> reporter: romney's task could be bigger. >> i think for romney, there's a broad challenge. and that is, how do you drill down into specific policies? the republican party hasn't figured out what a republican foreign policy looks like after the bush administration. i think romney's been uneager to

the only place you'll find all four of those teams is the national hockey league. that's your answer. and that's your "shoutout." the thing is, you won't see any of those teams on the ice anytime soon. the national hockey league season was supposed to start on october 11th. the league already canceled its schedule through october 24th. and on friday, it extended that through november 1st. the issue is that the nhl has locked out its players. two sides are trying to negotiate a new contract for how they split up the money that the league makes. so far, though, they haven't been able to make a deal. 135 games were scheduled between october 11th and november 1st. the last time the nhl had a lockout was in 2004. and that year, it was the entire season that ended up being canceled. we think you're going to get a kick out of next video.
