Ottawa Senators player tests positive for Coronavirus, days after a game in San Jose

Say this for the Coronavirus — it doesn’t discriminate.

On Tuesday night, the Ottawa Senators announced one of their players had tested positive for the virus. It was the first instance of an NHL player testing positive. Multiple NBA players, including former Warriors star Kevin Durant, and a small handful of baseball players have been diagnosed.

The Senators player, who has not been identified, may have unwittingly left victims in his wake. The Senators began a five-game road trip which started with a game against the Sharks in San Jose on March 7.

The Sens next played at Anaheim on March 10 — the same day Santa Clara County put a ban on mass gatherings of more than 1,000 people — then played the Kings in Los Angeles the following night.
