The Senators Covid problems, which started on Friday when they placed Austin Watson into Covid protocol, have grown over the weekend. Yesterday, Nick Holden and Jack Capuano were placed into Covid protocol after their tests came back positive.
Today the Senators cancelled their pre-travel practice “for precautionary reasons”, and shortly after placed Connor Brown and Dylan Gambrell in Covid protocol. Brown and Gambrell are not confirmed cases yet, so if their tests come back negative they could be back in the lineup for Thursday.
To fill in the gaps Erik Brannstrom was recalled after Holden was placed on the list yesterday, and today’s additions have led to the recall of Scott Sabourin and Egor Sokolov.
