New York Islanders coach Barry Trotz and defenseman Ryan Pulock were placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol on Tuesday.
Trotz just returned to the team Saturday after taking a leave of absence. Pulock hasn't played since Nov. 15 because of a lower-body injury.
New York hasn't played since Jan. 1. It had a four-game trip to play the Seattle Kraken, Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames postponed because of pandemic-related attendance restrictions in Canada.
The Islanders have won three of four heading into Thursday night's game against New Jersey.
