The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins had been scheduled for three games in the span of 48 hours this weekend, with contests in Syracuse Friday night, in Wilkes-Barre against Syracuse on Saturday, and in Hershey on Sunday. Now, due to COVID-19 protocols affecting both Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Hershey, the Penguins will not play at all this weekend.
News broke on Wednesday that the American Hockey League had postponed games involving five different Eastern Conference teams due to COVID-19 protocols:
- Rochester through Friday,
- Hartford and Springfield through Saturday, and
- Hershey and Providence through Sunday.
