An expanding Covid-19 outbreak among the Carolina Hurricanes has led to the NHL postponing tonight’s game between the Hurricanes and Minnesota Wild in St. Paul.
Adam Gold of 99.9 The Fan was the first to report on Twitter that the game would be postponed, followed by additional reports from Michael Russo and Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, Cory Lavalette of North State Journal, and ESPN’s Emily Kaplan. The NHL confirmed the news about 30 minutes later.
The Hurricanes left Canada yesterday afternoon en route to Minnesota, where they received Covid tests this morning.
