Yesterday, New York Rangers forward Phil Di Giuseppe turned up on the NHL COVID-19 protocol list. From a team perspective this is not normally a cause for alarm this season – it has become the new norm.
NHL News: Rangers cancel morning skate
The Blueshirts were scheduled to skate this AM prior to tonight’s contest at MSG versus the Flyers, but it was cancelled. That’s a red flag in the COVID era.
At the moment no additional Rangers are listed on the COVID list and there is no word that tonight’s game will be postponed. There are fans in attendance at MSG, so if there will be a cancellation the announcement would need to come soon.
