The NHL announced Saturday that Islanders games will be postponed “at least
through Tuesday, Nov. 30 due to the team’s continuing problem with COVID-19
cases.
“The National Hockey League announced today that as a result of an
additional New York Islanders Player entering COVID Protocol this morning, and
up to eight Players potentially unavailable to play due to COVID Protocol, as
well as the possibility of additional cases due to spread, the team's games
will be postponed at least through Tuesday, Nov. 30. The decision was made by
the League in consultation with the NHLPA's and Club's medical groups.
The League is in the process of reviewing and revising the Islanders'
regular season schedule.
The Islanders organization has followed, and will continue to follow, all
recommended guidelines aimed at protecting the health and safety of its
Players, staff and community at large as set by the NHL, local, state and
national agencies.”
