The Chicago Blackhawks have added Nicolas Beaudin and Ryan Carpenter to their COVID-19 protocol list. The team’s depth has been hit greatly the past week due to COVID exposure, which will only add to their problems.
This is what happens when playing sports during a global pandemic, players are going to miss time due to COVID, and the NHL expected that. So as the team moves forward, they will be facing a rough couple of games.
Chicago started the year off missing Jonathan Toews, Kirby Dach, Alex Nylander, and Brent Seabrook but since then things have only gotten worse.
