The Hurricanes’ scheduled game in Minnesota on Tuesday was postponed about five hours before puck drop after four players entered NHL COVID-19 protocol.
The Hurricanes became the fourth NHL team this season to have a game postponed by a COVID-19 outbreak.
Forwards Jordan Staal, Andrei Svechnikov and Steven Lorentz and defenceman Ian Cole were placed in the protocol on Tuesday.
The team had to leave leading scorer Sebastian Aho, forward Seth Jarvis and an unidentified member of the training staff in Vancouver, where the three of them entered the protocol following a 2-1 loss on Sunday.
