Martin Pospisil will miss Flames camp due to COVID-19

When the Calgary Flames unveiled their training camp roster on Sunday, two contracted players were absent. Goaltender Tyler Parsons is missing camp due to having ankle surgery last month. The other missing player, forward, Martin Pospisil, was a bit of a mystery.

Well, mystery solved: according to an article on the website of the Slovakian Ice Hockey Association, Pospisil is still in Slovakia because he tested positive for COVID-19 last month.

From Google Translate:

According to the original plans, Martin Pospíšil was to welcome the new year in Canada and in a few days he would have a difficult task to fight in a camp in Calgary Flames for a place in the prestigious NHL.
