The Dallas Stars announced head coach Rick Bowness was pulled from the bench for the third period of Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday because of COVID-19 protocols.
Assistant coach John Stevens took over for the rest of the contest.
"Whoever is in our traveling party has been vaccinated," general manager Jim Nill said, per Saad Yousuf of The Athletic. "We're very comfortable" this is a false positive, he added.
Yousuf also reported goaltender Anton Khudobin was cleared to return to the team once it was determined his positive COVID-19 test was actually a false positive.
