Travis Boyd, who the Canucks claimed off waivers from the Maple Leafs on Monday, has also been added to the list. His addition stems from having to go through provincial quarantine, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported.

Tuesday’s list did not include any additional Montreal Canadiens after Monday’s game between the against Edmonton Oilers was postponed because two Montreal players – Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Joel Armia – entered protocols. However, the NHL announced that all Canadiens games through March 28 would be postponed.
