Count Nashville Predators forward Nick Cousins among those in favor of pausing the NHL season until after Christmas amid a league-wide COVID-19 outbreak.

Over 65 NHL players are currently in COVID-19 protocol. The Calgary Flames have been hit the hardest, with 18 players and multiple staff members currently on the list. The league has postponed all of Calgary's games through Saturday.

Cousins is one of seven Predators players in the protocol, along with five members of the coaching staff. The NHL has not postponed any of Nashville's games as of yet.

The league reintroduced enhanced COVID-19 protocols on Wednesday to help combat the spread of the coronavirus.
