The Pittsburgh Penguins are voluntarily sidelining nine players from their training camp due to potential secondary exposure to an individual who had contact with a person that has tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Monday.
The Penguins said they learned of the potential secondary exposure on Sunday and the decision to isolate the group of players was made out of an abundance of caution in an effort to avoid exposure to anyone else within the organization.
The players will not participate in camp until it is deemed safe in accordance with NHL protocol and after test results.
