Buffalo Sabres head coach Ralph Krueger tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Thursday.
Sabres games through at least Feb. 8 have been postponed after forward Taylor Hall and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen were added to the COVID-19 protocol list.
The Sabres played the New Jersey Devils, who currently have 17 players on the COVID-19 list, on Saturday and Sunday.
Buffalo is reportedly furious with the league and New Jersey for allowing those weekend games to proceed despite the Devils showing signs of an outbreak.
Krueger was hired as head coach in 2019 and has guided the team to a 4-4-2 record so far this season.
