NHL News: Vaccinated, Hockey Canada, Injury Updates and Wilson Suspended

Sportsnet: There are some NHL players who have started getting vaccinated for COVID, not through the league but through where they are playing.

“The league’s aware of some players who have got it through some circumstances, say the city that they live where it’s become available,” Johnston said. “That hasn’t reached the point where it’s systematic yet. It’s not as though a team has been able to secure a vaccine for all its staff and its players just yet, but this process of getting the league vaccinated is now underway.”
