Report: Blues cancel practice after positive coronavirus tests

For the second time since the NHL began holding informal skates on June 8, a team has temporarily closed its facilities due to multiple positive coronavirus tests.

Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reported that the Blues did not hold their regularly scheduled skates on Friday due to multiple positive coronavirus tests. Saturday and Sunday were scheduled days off for players, and the facility is expected to reopen on Monday.

It's not known how many players or team personnel tested positive.

Two weeks ago, the Lightning halted their informal skates for several days when three players and additional team personnel tested positive.
