558ds agoThe New York Islanders are again being hit hard by another
COVID outbreak.
Wednesday's home game against the Detroit Red Wings has
been postponed when another player was added to the NHL's health and safety
protocols.
Brock Nelson was added to the COVID-19 list, joining
Anthony Beauvillier, Cal Clutterback, Zach Parise and Oliver Wahlstrom.
The Red Wings have at least six players out.
"Ideally I'd like every team to have a full complement
of players and we're playing and there's no disruption but that's
reality," says Islanders coach Barry Trotz. "That's fantasy hockey
right now."
The Islanders have no had five games postponed this season
due to coronavirus-related issues.
There have been 70 games postponed so far this season in
the NHL.
