Blackhawks' DeBrincat, Boqvist placed in COVID-19 protocol
Posted January 25, 2021 12:00 am
After three weeks with no COVID-19 issues, the Blackhawks were hit with bad news Monday when they were forced to place forward Alex DeBrincat and defenseman Adam Boqvist in COVID-19 protocol.
Because they are unable to travel, they will both miss the Hawks' games at Nashville on Tuesday and Wednesday. Their absence could be because:
• Of an initial positive test which remains unconfirmed.
• A confirmed positive test.
• They must quarantine as a high-risk close contact.
• They must isolate due to being symptomatic.
The NHL's policy is to release names of players who are in COVID protocol but not to give the reason or provide a timeline for the absense.
