The Arizona Coyotes have seen the NHL postpone three straight games in light of an increase in positive COVID-19 cases, including tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Kings. Tomorrow’s game against the San Jose Sharks is currently still scheduled to happen, but things are very clearly up in the air.
To help alleviate issues with players sidelined with positive tests, the NHL is re-instituting the Taxi Squads, which was first used last season to allow teams to practice with more players and have quicker call ups. Teams will be allowed to have six players on their Taxi Squads, the same as last season.
