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 is today’s list:
Colorado – Jayson Megna*
Vegas – Brayden McNabb*
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: None
After two days without a single name on the list, the NHL wasn’t so lucky today. Megna and McNabb have been added and will have to sit out for their respective teams. McNabb’s exclusion is obviously more important given the Golden Knights game this evening against the Wild. He played just over 13 minutes on Monday night but will have to be replaced for tonight’s game.
