The NHL was suddenly blessed with a good deal of common sense this morning, announcing that the Bruins vs. Canadiens game scheduled for Saturday night in Montreal has been postponed.
Understandably, no make-up date has been set at this time.
As you’re all very well aware, the Bruins are dealing with a rapidly expanding COVID-19 outbreak, and it seems like a new player or staff member is entering protocol every day.
The Canadiens, meanwhile, were asked by the Province of Quebec to play their game against the Flyers last night behind closed doors.
All of that adds up to a pretty obvious “yeah, maybe scrap this game” decision, but given how reluctant the league has been to do that to this point, you could never really be sure.
