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, according to multiple reports.
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 Hurricanes left Canada yesterday afternoon en route to Minnesota, where they received Covid tests this morning. Sources indicated to Russo that at least four players have tested positive, adding to the positive tests that were returned yesterday for Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis along with a member of the training staff.
