Currently, the Canadiens have twenty-two players and two staff member in the National Hockey League's COVID-19 protocol. Their team facilities are set to re-open on Friday, but given the amount of players they have on the NHL's protocol list, it's likely that may get pushed back by a couple of days, although that hasn't been confirmed.

Montreal's next game is set for Wednesday, January 12th in Boston against the Bruins. The habs added another two players, Cam Hillis and Michael Pezzetta, to COVID protocol Wednesday.
