NHL Postpones Islanders Games Through November 30

December 1, 2021 at 11:30 am CDT | by Brian La Rose 18 Comments

Dec 1: The league has announced that the Islanders are now cleared to resume their schedule and will play on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. Revisions of the rest of the schedule will be announced when completed.

Nov 27: With the Islanders getting hit hard with a COVID outbreak, the league has decided to pause things for a few days as they announced that they’ve postponed their games through November 30th.  The games affected are Sunday against the Rangers and Tuesday versus Philadelphia.  If they’re able to return to action after that time, their first game back will be Thursday when they’re scheduled to host San Jose.  The league is in the process of reviewing and revising their schedule.

Per the league’s announcement, another player entered COVID protocol today, giving them eight players potentially unavailable to play.  While they didn’t reveal who it was, GM Lou Lamoriello told Newsday’s Andrew Gross (Twitter link) that forward Casey Cizikas is the one who tested positive today.  The other seven that aren’t available are forwards Josh Bailey, Kieffer Bellows, Ross Johnston, and Anders Lee plus defensemen Zdeno Chara, Andy Greene, and Adam Pelech.

The Islanders are the second team to have COVID-related postponements as the Senators had three games postponed due to their outbreak earlier this month.  As a result of that, the NHL’s ability to opt out of playing in the upcoming Olympics was activated and while there’s no indication that they’re leaning in that direction at this time, the more games they have to postpone will certainly affect their final decision on that matter.

    Between this, Ottawa postponing games, and the new South African variant of COVID (Omicron… I think is what they called it), the prospect of Olympic hockey is looking dinner and dimmer.

    Should have played in the bubble again as with a effective rate of 90 percent, still means with every player vaccinated, best case scenario was that 60 to 70 players would get COVID, made worse by their family and friends not being vaccinated and not wearing masks. With players being placed in lockdown because of tracing versus positive test, makes it seem even worse. Stop all games for two weeks and require booster.

    Does fffbbb above have any evidence to back up his assertion that it was due to unvaccinated family and friends that led to vaccinated players testing positive for covid? Of course he doesn’t. And if the vaccinated are allegedly being infected in this way, what does this say about these “vaccines”?

      A bullet has a far greater chance of killing a person if it strikes the chest than COVID has of killing anyone who contracts it

      All Josh has left are straw man arguments. He can’t even pull out his Florida card any longer now that they’ve had the lowest infection rates in the country for over a month now.

    Idk how much notice the league needs to give but they should reschedule the sens/Rangers game for Monday. If they were smart the league would take advantage of every opening they can. Gonna be hard to fit in games in this condensed schedule as it is. Rangers now off from Sat-Tues and sens off Sun-Tues.
