The NHL has postponed Wednesday’s game between the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames.
The announcement comes after two Canucks players were added to the COVID Protocol List, according to the league’s release, as well as a member of the team’s coaching staff.
The league’s testing rules require players and staff to be tested daily — any time an individual’s initial test comes back positive, the lab does a second test on the initial sample.
If the second test is negative, a second sample is collected. If that second sample returns a positive result, it is considered to be a “confirmed positive.” The league requires individuals who test positive to self-isolate for 10 days, and for close contacts to self-isolate for 14 days.
This is the second time a game in the North Division has been postponed this season.
More to come.
