NHL Postpones New York Islanders Games Through November 30th

After the Ottawa Senators had to miss games due to nearly a dozen players and coaches being placed in COVID protocol, there is now a second team that will have games postponed by the NHL. On Saturday, the league announced that the New York Islanders would have their games postponed through at least November 30th.

With eight players in COVID protocol, the Islanders will have their next two games against the Rangers on Sunday, and the Flyers on Tuesday being pushed back. The Blackhawks are scheduled to face the Islanders on Sunday, December 5th, in New York.

At 5-10-2, the Islanders are in last place in the Metropolitan Division and are tied with the Montreal Canadiens for the third-fewest points in the league this season.
