Another NHL game postponed

Since the NHL began its season on Jan. 13 nine games have been postponed.

Thursday’s matchup between the St. Louis Blues and the Vegas Golden Knights was the latest, as the league said one player and a member of the Golden Knights’ coaching staff were entering COVID-19 protocols.

Nine other games have had to be rescheduled because of postponements involving the Carolina Hurricanes and the Dallas Stars. The Stars did not begin their season until Jan. 22 because of an outbreak, and the Hurricanes’ past four games have been postponed because several players tested positive.
