Another Flames player has entered the NHL's Covid Protocol and that is Mikael Backlund.
With Backlund now testing positive the only player is not in Covid Protocol for Calgary are Matthew Tkachuk, Dan Vladar, Blake Coleman and Michael Stone. It also puts the total number of people within the organization who have tested positive up to 32. With the way things have gone this week and the daily update of players entering the league's Covid Protocol, it wouldn't be shocking to find the rest of those players listed in the next couple of days.
The Flames return to play date was supposed to be December 18th, but as we've mentioned in prior articles, that feels like an unlikely scenario.
