More Flames players expected to be placed in COVID-19 protocol

Yesterday, the Calgary Flames were forced to postpone three games due to six of their players and an additional staff member being placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list.

The six players to be placed on the list were Elias Lindholm, Andrew Mangiapane, Brad Richardson, Adam Ruzicka, Chris Tanev, and Nikita Zadorov. Unfortunately, they may not be the only Flames players to enter protocol, as ESPN's Greg Wyshynski is reporting that there are additional players being placed on the list today.

At this point, it appears the league may be forced to postpone even more Flames games. As of right now, they are set to play this Saturday versus the Columbus Blue Jackets, but given this latest update that seems extremely unlikely.
