Sharks forward suspended

San Jose Sharks forward Kevin Labanc was suspended for one game without pay by the NHL Friday for slew-footing St. Louis Blues forward Tyler Bozak.

Labanc has two goals and two assists in 11 games this season.

Senators

The NHL rescheduled one of the Ottawa’s three games that were postponed this week because of a COVID-19 outbreak on the team.

The league said Friday that Ottawa’s game at New Jersey originally scheduled for Tuesday night will take place Dec. 6 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

The Senators and the NHL announced Monday that the game at New Jersey, as well as home games Thursday against Nashville and Saturday against the New York Rangers, would be postponed as the team tried to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. At the time, the Senators had 10 players and an assistant coach in the COVID-19 protocol.

The Senators are scheduled to return to action Monday night at Colorado.

Canadiens

General manager Marc Bergevin tested positive for COVID-19. The Canadiens said the positive test was confirmed Friday morning, and that Bergevin is being monitored by the team’s’ medical staff. Bergevin is the latest high- profile case of COVID-19 in the Canadiens organization. Coach Dominique Ducharme tested positive in the 2020-21 playoffs. He missed the final four games of the Canadiens’ semifinal win over Vegas and the first two games of Montreal’s five-game loss to Tampa Bay in the Stanley Cup final.
