Colorado Avalanche Player Tested Positive For COVID-19

March 26, 2020 at 3:48 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

Another NHL organization has been hit with the coronavirus (COVID-19). The Colorado Avalanche have announced that one of their players tested positive, though after isolating since his first symptoms appeared, he has subsequently recovered. The team has notified anyone that came in close contact with the player, who once again was left unnamed.

Previously, only the Ottawa Senators had announced that players—two, in that case—had tested positive for the virus. This is the third case in the NHL so far. Of note, the Senators and Avalanche played in San Jose on consecutive nights after the county of Santa Clara recommended against large gatherings.

The Avalanche also played in the Staples Center the night before the Brooklyn Nets—who had multiple players test positive—and two nights before the Senators. Obviously there is no way of telling exactly how or when the virus was transmitted to the Avalanche player.

    It’s amazing the NHL hasn’t been hit harder, all leagues frankly.

      Don’t worry, @AstrosWS20, it’s coming…every disclosed NHL case gets us closer to a cancelled season, unfortunately.

    I gotta disagree Mac. The cancellation of the season is correlated to the length of the states isolation measures not the number of cases in the league as the recovery period is far shorter then the state mandated isolation we’re all abiding by, so all players will return to full health prior to the states lifting their isolation standards.

    Think about it. You’re Betman. Would you cancel the season if every employee (player) recovers like this Avs player?

    To those reading this that are hesitant to agree with my previous point: Betman is in charge of the league’s revenues. That’ll be his #1 motivating factor to not cancelling the season.
