This potentially could put the Jets' game on Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs in jeopardy due to the NHL COVID-19 protocols.
Currently, the Jets sit at 1-0-0 after defeating the Calgary Flames in the first game of the year 4-3. Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor both started the season off right, with each player recording 3 points. It would be difficult if the team was forced to miss time, as it appears that they may have fixed some of their problems from last season.
If a player tested positive for COVID-19, the NHL will likely be releasing the name or names that did so. This must be completed in accordance with the NHL COVID-19 protocol.
