Players across the NHL are getting set to return to the ice and begin preparing for the 24-team postseason tournament. One of those players, of course, is Minnesota Wild forward Luke Kunin.
However, there may be some hoops to jump through in order to get Kunin cleared to play.
Kunin, 22, has type 1 diabetes, and according to a report from TSN’s Bob McKenzie, players like Kunin (such as Montreal Canadiens forward Max Domi) may not be permitted to take part in the tournament due to the impact COVID-19 can have on those with underlying health conditions.
