The NHL postponed Wednesday's game between the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks due to COVID-19 protocol.
Two Canucks players - including one the league said it added to its COVID-19-related absences list after its initial release at 5 p.m. ET Wednesday - and a coach have entered protocol.
Vancouver forward Adam Gaudette is the lone member of the team currently on the list. He tested positive and entered protocol Tuesday.
The NHL hadn't postponed a North Division game until rescheduling a Montreal Canadiens-Edmonton Oilers contest on March 22 after two Canadiens forwards landed on the COVID-19 list. The league subsequently postponed three more of Montreal's games.
