Two Calgary Flames players added to COVID protocol
By Ryan Pike
2 years agoThe Calgary Flames’ COVID-19 outbreak continues to expand. The club announced on Thursday morning that two additional players have been added to the protocol: Dillon Dube and Oliver Kylington. (A staff member was also added.)
The two players make it 18 players total currently in the protocol (and 30 members of the organization total):
- Goaltender Jacob Markstrom
- Defensemen Rasmus Andersson, Chris Tanev, Nikita Zadorov, Erik Gudbranson, Oliver Kylington and Noah Hanifin
- Forwards Johnny Gaudreau, Brad Richardson, Milan Lucic, Tyler Pitlick, Trevor Lewis, Sean Monahan, Elias Lindholm, Byron Froese, Adam Ruzicka, Dillon Dube and Andrew Mangiapane
- Head coach Darryl Sutter, associate coach Kirk Muller, assistant coach Ryan Huska
- Nine members of the club’s support staff
Not in the protocol, for now:
- Goaltender Dan Vladar
- Defensemen Michael Stone
- Forwards Mikael Backlund, Matthew Tkachuk and Blake Coleman (and injured forward Brett Ritchie)
Here’s when each individual entered the protocol and when they could exit (if everyone is asymptomatic and everything goes perfectly well, assuming everyone tested positive the day before they were announced as in the protocol):
- Dec. 13: Lindholm, Mangiapane, Richardson, Ruzicka, Tanev and Zadorov (potentially exiting Dec. 22)
- Dec. 14: Hanifin, Lucic and Monahan (potentially exiting Dec. 23)
- Dec. 15: Andersson, Froese, Gaudreau, Gudbranson, Lewis, Markstrom and Pitlick (and the coaches) (potentially exiting Dec. 24)
- Dec. 16: Dube and Kylington (potentially exiting Dec. 25)
This is obviously a fluid situation, so take any target dates with the appropriate amount of salt.
The Flames are currently scheduled to play Anaheim on Dec. 21 and Seattle on Dec. 23, but those dates are subject to possible postponement by the NHL depending on how this situation continues to unfold.
We’ll have more on this story as it continues to develop.
