Bruins and Sabres cancel morning skates due to COVID, game status unclear

Tonight's Bruins game against the Sabres may happen, or it may not happen. That's all we know for now.

The confusion and rumblings started after the Bruins announced this morning that their morning skate had been canceled due to one of the players entering the NHL’s COVID-19 protocols.

UPDATE: Today’s pregame skate at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY has been cancelled due to a Bruins player entering the league’s COVID-19 protocols.

That came after the Sabres also canceled their pregame skate due to a team staff member entering the same protocols.
