Colorado Avalanche: How New Directives Affect the Team
The Colorado Avalanche may see many of its players returning to their offseason homes with the new directives from the NHL.
Colorado Avalanche players may be heading home, depending on what travel is allowed. The NHL delivered a new directive today.
As noted yesterday, the CDC released new recommendations of avoiding large events and mass gatherings for the next eight weeks. In light of that recommendation, the NHL is allowing players to return to their homes, including outside of North America, if flights are available.
This portion of the pause, a self-quarantine, will last through Friday, March 27 — so nine days basically. The period may be extended if there are any new travel mandates.
