It wasn’t easy for the league to remain on target for Sunday’s matchup between the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers in Lake Tahoe. But, alas, here we are with the anticipated matchup no longer in doubt.
The Flyers didn’t even know if they’d make the trek after their COVID-19 outbreak a couple of weeks ago. They were cleared for play earlier in the week, yet a handful of players stayed on the COVID protocol list and didn’t travel with the team.
The Bruins, fresh off their first set of back-to-back regulation losses, arrived with zero confirmed coronavirus cases but will have a few bodies missing as well.
