The start time of Thursday's Montreal Canadiens-Edmonton Oilers clash was been pushed back from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET as the Oilers awaited test results after forward Jesse Puljujarvi had to enter COVID-19 protocol, the league announced.
The Oilers last played Tuesday versus the Ottawa Senators, while the Montreal Canadiens were in action Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
There have been several postponements tied to COVID-19 early in the 2021 season, but the North Division has yet to be affected.
