The Canucks resumed training camp practices and workouts Monday after a player had a false positive test for COVID-19, which led to the cancelation of practice Sunday.
"We had a false positive test come in," coach Travis Green said. "At the time we didn't know if it was false positive or not and we wanted to take the proper precautions and just felt like it was best if we stayed off the ice and waited to see.
"Our team hasn't gone through a lot of scenarios with COVID. So, yesterday kind of being our first one it was good to be able to get back on the ice today."
The Canucks were the fourth NHL team in three days to have a practice impacted by COVID-19 concerns.
The Dallas Stars cancelled practice Friday, and the NHL later announced that six players and two staff members recently had tested positive for COVID-19. Their facilities are closed and their first two games of the 2020-21 NHL season, at the Florida Panthers on Jan. 14 and Jan. 15, have been postponed.
Also Friday, 19 players did not practice for the Columbus Blue Jackets, who said an unspecified number of players were sidelined "out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with NHL COVID-19 protocols." Eighteen of those players returned Saturday.
The Pittsburgh Penguins cancelled practice Saturday out of an abundance of caution due to potential exposure of COVID-19. They had an intrasquad scrimmage Sunday.
