NHL postpones 3 Senators games due to COVID-19 outbreak

The NHL postponed three Ottawa Senators games on Monday amid a COVID-19 outbreak on the team, the first time any of North America’s major professional sports leagues have been hit by rescheduling this fall because of the coronavirus.

I guess the CFL’s Edmonton Elks had to postpone their game against the Toronto Argonauts due to covid in September 2021 does not count.

Games scheduled for Tuesday at New Jersey, at home Thursday against Nashville and at home Saturday against the New York Rangers were postponed. Ten Senators players along with associate coach Jack Capuano are currently in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol, and though the team played shorthanded Sunday, the depth of Ottawa’s outbreak led to the league’s decision.

Hopefully this will be the only time the NHL has to do so.
