The Flyers have Claude Giroux, Ivan Provorov, Justin Braun, and Travis Konecny in COVID protocol. It’s not like the COVID list has been fluctuating back and forth; it’s a steady and consistent number of guys missing games, and so it makes you wonder why they played the Pittsburgh and San Jose games but postponed this one. Anthony has been railing against the NHL and their COVID handling all season long, and he was on to something there.
Should get more news on this in the morning. Will update if there’s anything out there.
Edit – there’s this:
According to GM Chuck Fletcher via Flyers PR, the team has announced all of their COVID protocol players, so there are no new additions to the list. https://t.co/D3Qcek6fQA
