OTTAWA – (Staff Report from Official News Release) – The National Hockey League will postpone Ottawa Senators’ games at least through Saturday, Nov. 20. The decision was made by the League’s, NHLPA’s and Club’s medical groups after 10 Senators’ players entered the NHL’s COVID+ protocol, and evidence of continued spread became obvious in recent days, said the league in a news release to media.
As an appropriate precaution, the team’s training facilities have been closed, and will remain closed to players until further notice. The NHL is in the process of reviewing and revising the Senators’ regular season schedule. The Senators organization has, and will continue to follow, all recommended guidelines aimed at protecting the health and safety of its players, staff and community at large as set by the NHL, local, provincial and national agencies.
