NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

😷😬

The Montreal Canadiens have announced that there will be no fans allowed in the Bell Centre when the team takes on the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.

The announcement came just two hours before puck drop.

The Canadiens said they received a request this afternoon from Quebec public health officials to host tonight's contest behind closed doors due to the rise of COVID-19 cases in the province. The organization will provide an update Friday on the status of Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins.


The organization is planning to return to partial capacity at games beginning in January.

And guess what? That AHL team just beat the Flyers. LOL. Thought you guys would appreciate that.
 
The NHL has postponed Saturday's marquee matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins, the league announced Friday.

A makeup date hasn't been confirmed, but the Canadiens are scheduled to play on Dec. 20 versus the New York Islanders. Montreal played at home Thursday without fans due to rising COVID-19 cases.

The Bruins are dealing with an ongoing outbreak that's sidelined superstars Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand, among others. Boston could only dress 17 skaters in its loss to the Isles on Thursday.


The NHL has postponed several games in recent weeks as there has been an increase in players landing in COVID-19 protocol.

The Bruins haven't visited Montreal since November 2019. The longtime archrivals met once this season in Boston, with the home side taking a 5-2 victory.
 
All Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, and Florida Panthers games have been postponed until at least Dec. 27, the NHL announced Friday.

All three teams are dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks. Cases across the league have risen substantially over the past two weeks.

Here's a look at the affected games on each team's schedule:

The Flames have already had three games postponed this week. All three teams are tentatively scheduled to play their respective contests when the league returns from its Christmas break on Dec. 27.

As of right now, the NHL isn't planning a league-wide shutdown, reports Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.

Saturday's clash between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens was also called off, and capacity limits have been implemented in some Canadian markets as the league navigates the increase of COVID-19 cases.

In hindsight I think the fact that Colorado played the Predators last night was a bad move. Now the Preds will have more cases and take it to Chicago tonight and give it to them.
