Sixth Senators player sidelined due to COVID-19 | Coronavirus

He found himself with forwards Austin Watson, Dylan Gambrell and Connor Brown and defenders Victor Mete and Nick Holden on the sidelines.

The Senators also canceled their scheduled training as a preventative measure.

Associate coach Jack Capuano must also follow the same protocol.

Mete’s name was added on Tuesday, hours before the team face the Boston Bruins.

The Senators canceled training Monday as a precautionary measure after Holden and Capuano were sidelined on Sunday.

They then entered the names of Connor Brown and Gambrell on Monday and revealed they would not be accompanying the team to Boston.

Watson has been under the protocol since Friday.

The Senators host the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday.

Penguins: two players are back in training

The Pittsburgh Penguins may be nearing the end of the COVID-19 outbreak that has forced eight players and head coach Mike Sullivan to comply with COVID-19 protocol in recent weeks.

Defenders Chad Ruhwedel and Marcus Pettersson trained on Wednesday.

Assistant coach Todd Reirden – who replaces Sullivan – said a decision will be made Thursday night as to their chances of returning to the game as the Penguins host the Florida Panthers.

The two defenders must follow the protocol related to COVID-19 since October 31. The two said on Wednesday they were symptomatic during their quarantine.

The Penguins are still without captain Sidney Crosby, defenseman Brian Dumoulin and their head coach.
