Mikko Rantanen added to NHL’s COVID Protocol list
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports Tuesday afternoon, Colorado Avalanche star Mikko Rantanen has been added to the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list. The news comes one day before the club was scheduled to return to practice after being shut down last week.
The team’s season was put on hold when Bo Byram, Philipp Grubabuer and Joonas Donskoi all tested positive last week. Byram was removed from the list on Monday but the others all remain there with Rantanen. It is the second time this season, the Avalanche were shut down out of an abundance of caution.
