Thursday's contest between the Vegas Golden Knights and St. Louis Blues was postponed as the result of a Golden Knights player and member of the coaching staff entering COVID-19 protocol, the league announced.
Vegas announced Tuesday that its entire coaching staff was isolating "out of an abundance of caution." General manager Kelly McCrimmon assumed coaching duties for Tuesday's overtime loss against the Blues.
The Golden Knights canceled Thursday's skate, and the club's facilities will remain closed until further notice.
The league is reviewing and revising the Golden Knights' schedule, and a decision on next week's games will be made in the next 24-48 hours.
This marks the second game-day postponement for the NHL so far this season.
