The San Jose Sharks were severely depleted when they took the ice on Saturday night.
The team announced that seven players, along with head coach Bob Boughner, would miss the game against the Winnipeg Jets after entering the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
Included on that list was Sharks alternate captain and star defenceman Erik Karlsson, who has posted two goals and six points in San Jose's 4-3-0 start this year.
Forwards Andrew Cogliano, Jonathan Dahlen and Matt Nieto, along with defencemen Jake Middleton, Radim Simek and Marc-Edouard Vlasic rounded out the list of those MIA for San Jose.
