Over 65 NHL players are currently in COVID protocol. The Calgary Flames have been hit the hardest, with 18 players and multiple staff members currently on the COVID list. The league has postponed all of Calgary's games through Saturday.
Cousins is one of seven Predators players in protocol. The team also has five members of its coaching staff on the COVID list. The NHL has not postponed any of Nashville's games as of yet.
The league reintroduced enhanced COVID-19 protocols on Wednesday to help combat the spread of the virus.
