“The health and well-being of our community is our priority and we appreciate the understanding of our fans, corporate partners and guests under these extraordinary circumstances,” the team said in a statement.
The precautions will begin with Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Attendance at the games will be limited to home and visiting club personnel, media, essential club and arena staff, and NHL officials.
