Hinostroza in COVID Protocol; Could League Shutdown Be Looming?
Buffalo Sabres forward Vinnie Hinostroza has entered the NHL’s COVID protocols, the team announced on Monday evening. Earlier in the day, the scheduled game between the Sabres and the Blue Jackets for Money evening was postponed, along with the teams’ other meeting later this week.
The Sabres have been pretty fortunate up until this point, with only goaltender Dustin Tokarski recently in protocol. Unfortunately, they’re now at least the 21st team to have a player enter protocol in the last seven days.
