Saturday FTB: Two NHL teams already face COVID breakouts

Every time any of the professional leagues in North America try to come together for the start of a season, there’s some starting pains — just ask the German and Swedish teams at the recently completed World Juniors. Players travelling from all over into singular locations have led to multiple breakouts

Well, with NHL training camps under way for a few days we saw two teams get hit with outbreaks. The most serious was the Dallas Stars, with six players and two staff testing positive.

As a result, their camp and facilities are shut down, and all their games are being pushed back until at least January 19th, maybe later.
