The NHL is postponing the Boston Bruins' next two games after four additional players from the club entered the COVID-19 protocol Friday, the league announced.
The Bruins' matchups against the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders on Saturday and Tuesday, respectively, have been postponed.
Boston canceled its morning skate Thursday after a player entered the protocol. However, the team played its game against the Sabres later that day after further contact tracing and testing.
Pending results in the coming days, the league anticipates the Bruins will be able to reopen their facilities and resume practicing March 24.
