Bruins' next 2 games postponed with 4 more players in COVID protocols
The Boston Bruins' next two scheduled games were postponed by the NHL on Friday after four additional players entered the league's COVID-19 protocols.
Bruins can't reopen facilities until at least Wednesday
The NHL has paused the Boston Bruins after four more players entered the league's COVID protocol.
Bruins games Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres and Tuesday against the New York Islanders were postponed and team facilities closed until at least Wednesday. They're the 36th and 37th games to be postponed this season for virus-related reasons.
Boston's Sean Kuraly was the team's only player on the COVID list Thursday. The Bruins played Thursday night against the Sabres, who had a staff member enter protocol.
The Bruins game Tuesday was scheduled to be the first in Massachusetts with fans back — at a limited capacity of 12 per cent.
The pause provides the Sabres a three-day break before they play at the New York Rangers on Monday. It's Buffalo's longest rest since the team's schedule was paused for two weeks in early February.
