Each day, the NHL will publicly release the list of players that are unavailable to their respective teams due to being in COVID-19 Protocol. Here are today’s results:
NY Rangers – Kaapo Kakko
Ottawa – Ryan Dzingel
Philadelphia – Travis Konecny
San Jose – Tomas Hertl
As a reminder, inclusion on this list does not mean that a player has tested positive for Coronavirus or even that they have been confirmed as a close contact to another positive person. Included in the NHL’s list of possible reasons for someone being on the list is are the following:
(1) an initial positive test which remains unconfirmed until confirmatory testing is completed pursuant to the Positive Test Protocol; (2) mandated isolation for symptomatic individuals pursuant to the Positive Test Protocol; (3) required quarantine as a high-risk close contact in accordance with the Positive Test Protocol; (4) isolation based on a confirmed positive test result and/or; (5) quarantine for travel or other reasons as outlined in the COVID-19 Protocol
Players removed today: K’Andre Miller, New York Rangers; Scott Laughton, Philadelphia Flyers; Oskar Lindblom, Philadelphia Flyers
Not only is it great news that the Flyers are down to just one player after their large outbreak, the fact that Hertl remains alone on the Sharks list means the team should be able to continue their season on schedule. San Jose is scheduled to play against the Blues tomorrow.
Dzingel is still actually just a quarantine situation, right? Not true Covid?
Yes
Thanks. So really only 3 on the
List then
Great to see Oskar come off the list with no other news than he’s healthy and ok. As well as the others of course, but considering the circumstances.
