Tuesday, December 21 in the Covid-19 protocol Zemgus Girgenson and Jeff Skiners from Buffalo were placed in the buffalo, but last week Winnie Hinostroca, Dylan Cosen and Mark Jankowski, as well as coach Don Granato, came there. Girgenson was the only one to experience symptoms of Covid-19.
None of the five hockey players have any symptoms at the moment, Kevin Adams, the team’s general manager, told Lens Lisovsky, a journalist for The Buffalo News, on Monday. Girgenson experienced symptoms for the first two days, but now “he’s doing well,” Adams said.
Due to the lack of symptoms, hockey players can return to the ranks before ten days have passed, but it requires two negative PCR tests, writes Jordon Labarber, a journalist for sabres.com.
Adams added that on Monday afternoon, the team management will make decisions on possible additions. NHL management on Sunday renewed last year’s Covid-19 reserve taxi squad, which will include six players for a sudden call.
The NHL management has already canceled 67 games this season, but more than 150 hockey players are subject to the Covid-19 protocol, including Pittsburgh Penguins striker Theodor Bluger. Due to the Covid-19 illness, the NHL Championship had previously been scheduled to take a break of a few days, but the games were first canceled on December 22, 23, 24 and 25, and then resumed until December 28.
The situation in the league also forced the NHL to renounce hockey players at the Beijing Olympics. Instead, NHL teams will play the matches postponed so far during the Beijing Games.
