Should be playing, but aren’t

Jakob Pelletier is inactive, as he’s at World Junior camp.
Lincoln (Jake Boltmann) had its Friday and Wednesday games against Waterloo cancelled and declared no-contests.
Saint John (Jeremie Poirier) had a positive test among their staff and have had their next three games rescheduled.
Cape Breton (Ryan Francis) played Saint John before the positive test was detected, so they’re not playing this weekend as a precaution. Their Wednesday game is postponed, too, due to positive tests on Halifax’s team.
AIK (Lucas Feuk) is part of the league-wide shutdown of Sweden’s top junior league that runs through the end of December.
HV71 (Johannes Kinnvall) had an outbreak; they’re currently scheduled to pay on Saturday, but no guarantees there.
SaiPa’s Wednesday game with HIFK has been postponed due to restrictions on gatherings in Helsinki.
