Two more Calgary Flames players and one member of the support staff have entered the COVID-19 protocol.

Dillon Dube and Oliver Kylington are the two players, meaning 18 players are now on the list.

The team added 17 people to the list on Tuesday.

Sportsnet's Eric Francis reports some Flames have the Omicron variant.

The Flames have had four games postponed this week. Currently, the next game on the schedule is Tuesday against Anaheim.

Of the 20 players in Calgary's lineup on Saturday vs. the Boston Bruins, only four are not currently on the protocol list: Mikael Backlund, Matthew Tkachuk, Blake Coleman and Daniel Vladar.

A total of 10 NHL games have already been postponed, including five this week.
