Boone Jenner among 3 blue jackets placed in protocol
Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner, teammate Jack Roslovic and defender Gabriel Carlsson were placed in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol Sunday.
The Blue Jackets chose to cancel Sunday’s training “of an abundance of caution.” They plan to hold a morning skate on Monday before traveling to Buffalo to meet the Sabers later in the evening.
For the first time this season, the NHL is postponing several games after temporarily shutting down three teams, including the Calgary Flames due to COVID-19 concerns. Some players are urging the league to put the whole season on hiatus. 2:02
Jenner, 28, has a team-leading 11 goals left with seven assists in 28 games this season.
Roslovic, a 24-year-old Columbus native, has scored 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 27 games in 2021-22.
Carlsson, 24, has amassed four points (one goal, three assists) in 13 games this season.
Trae Young joins the COVID protocol
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young was placed in the NBA’s health and safety records on Sunday, as was Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel as the number of coronaviruses in the league continued to rise.
Young is the only Hawks player on the record list, coach Nate McMillan told reporters in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Vogel will not be on the bench when the Lakers play in Chicago on Sunday. David Fizdale will coach the Lakers in Vogel’s place, the team said.
