The NHL announced Saturday that the Nashville Predators and Boston Bruins will both be off until at least Christmas due to COVID-19 issues. Yesterday’s game for the Predators against Carolina was postponed, along with tomorrow’s game against Winnipeg and Thursday’s game at Florida.
Meanwhile, the NHL and its players association announced cross-border games will be postponed for the upcoming week. The announcement Sunday came as the league takes on a rising number of COVID-19 cases. Twelve games that would have taken place between Monday and Thursday are affected by the decision. The statement added that a final determination on whether NHL players will participate in the 2022 Beijing Olympics will also be coming soon.
