The Philadelphia Flyers are the latest team to have a player placed on the National Hockey League’s COVID-19 Protocol list. Travis Sanheim was added to the list on Sunday after he was scratched from the game and did not appear on the bench.
The team initially did not disclose the reason he was scratched from Sunday’s win over Washington per standard procedure. The NHL released Sunday’s COVID-19 protocol list hours after the game which showed Travis Sanheim on the list.
