As a result of two Montreal Canadiens players being in the NHL’s COVID Protocols, the team’s games have been postponed through Sunday, March 28, the National Hockey League announced on Tuesday. 

It is expected that the Canadiens will be able to re-open their facilities for practice on Monday, March 29. 

Canadiens forwards Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Joel Armia were added to the league's COVID Protocol List, which led to the eventual postponement of Montreal's game against the Edmonton Oilers Monday night -- the first North Division game to be rescheduled as a result of the league's health and safety protocols.

Montreal was scheduled to play the Oilers on Wednesday and Friday, and the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, March. 28. 

More to come.
