Oskar Sundqvist, who played last night in the Blues’ 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars, has been placed on the NHL’s Covid-19 protocol list today.
Recently, Justin Faulk (who went fishing), Tyler Bozak (who wound up infecting his entire family and had symptoms) and Jordan Binnington recently were re-activated from the list.
The NHL is having problems with Covid-19 right now, as are most sports leagues. Rigorous testing will catch multiple cases, and most cases are either mild or asymptomatic thanks to the vaccines. The issue is that with the omicron variant’s quick replicability and infection rate, plus ability to evade some immunity, more and more positive cases are going to pop up regardless of a player’s vaccine status.
