For the first time this NHL season, COVID-19 health and safety protocols have forced an alteration to the Kings’ schedule.
The team’s home game Saturday against the Minnesota Wild has been postponed because of protocol-related issues with the Wild, the league said in a statement Monday. No makeup date was announced.
For now, the Kings and Wild are still scheduled to play on Feb. 16 at Staples Center. The Wild’s following two games in Anaheim against the Ducks, scheduled for Feb. 18 and 20, also remain unaffected.
The Wild have been one of several NHL teams severely impacted by COVID protocol absences in recent weeks.
