UNDATED (AP) — The NHL has postponed the Calgary Flames’ next three games, including tonight’s contest in Chicago.

Six Flames players and a staff member entered the league’s COVID-19 protocol over a 24-hour period. The team announced Monday that forwards Elias Lindholm, Andrew Mangiapane, Brad Richardson and Adam Ruzicka were in protocol, along with defensemen Chris Tanev and Nikita Zadorov.

Also postponed are Tuesday’s game at Nashville and Wednesday’s home game versus Toronto.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes announced star center Sebastian Aho, rookie center Seth Jarvis and a member of the training staff have entered the COVID-19 protocol. The team said all three would remain in Vancouver, where Carolina absorbed a 2-1 loss on Sunday.
