In Edmonton, forward Ryan McLeod entered the league’s COVID-19 protocol earlier in the day.
A player entering the protocol does not necessarily mean they have contracted the virus.
Tippett’s absence comes as a surge of positive COVID-19 results rocked the NHL, causing postponements and dramatic roster adjustments across the league.
