As if things couldn't go worse for the Chicago Blackhawks to start the season, now they're being hammered by COVID-19.
Captain Jonathan Toews and fellow forward Henrik Borgstrom are the latest players to be added to the COVID protocols list Tuesday.
They follow Patrick Kane, Riley Stillman and Jujhar Khaira, who went on the list this weekend and missed Chicago's latest loss -- to the Red Wings. Assistant coach Marc Crawford also missed the game due to the protocols.
Being in the protocols doesn't necessarily mean that someone has tested positive.
