The NHL announced Friday afternoon that the Colorado Avalanche will have their next three games postponed, after the team returned a third positive COVID test in the latest round of tests. The player who tested positive will join Defenseman Bowen Byram, and Goaltender Philipp Grubauer on the leagues protocol list.
The Avalanche were set to play the first of a two-game set tonight against the Los Angeles Kings, but now those two games, as well as Tuesday’s game against the St. Louis Blues, will likely be tacked onto the end of the season, which has already been extended for other teams to make up games.
