Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar says the three players on his team who tested positive for COVID-19 have all seemingly recovered.

"All of our guys are doing well," Bednar said, according to NHL.com's Tracey Myers. "Some of them were even doing well before they had their test results. As far as I know, they're all doing good and are back with their families and continuing to follow the guidelines given to us.

"Those guys were lucky that there wasn't anything too serious with their symptoms and they were able to come through it without any major complications."

The league paused games March 12 due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. The first positive diagnosis in the Avalanche organization occurred March 26.

Eight NHL players have tested positive for the coronavirus, with three on the Avs and five on the Ottawa Senators. Bednar admitted he wasn't shocked when learning of the positive diagnoses within his organization.

"(Given) what's going on and the number of people who are testing positive, I'm sure we all know people who have tested positive or read about people that we know who tested positive, so I can't say that surprised me," he said.

Bednar also confirmed not every Avalanche player has been tested, only those who have shown symptoms.

"Our guys, we're giving them the information, and if they're not feeling well, we relay that information to our medical staff. In turn, they'll get tested and away we go," he said. "It's the same as the rest of the country and the world; not everyone is getting tested."
