{allcanada} Tavares of Maple Leafs, Nugent-Hopkins of Oilers placed in COVID-19 protocol

 
Toronto Maple Leafs

Forwards John Tavares and Alexander Kerfoot were placed in NHL COVID-19 protocol on Friday.

Practice Friday was canceled in Vancouver, where the Maple Leafs are scheduled to play the Canucks on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; CBC, SNO, SNW, SNP, ESPN+, NHL LIVE).

Nick Ritchie rejoined the Maple Leafs for practice Thursday after missing the start of a three-game road trip against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday because of a non-COVID illness.

The forward skated on the left wing of a line with David Kampf and Ilya Mikheyev and hopes to return Saturday.

"Tough couple of days," Ritchie said. "Luckily, no COVID. I had multiple tests that were negative. Just one of those seasonal things, I think, and I was knocked out for couple days."

Toronto was scheduled to play the Calgary Flames on Thursday but the game was postponed after 19 Flames players, three coaches and nine staff members were placed in protocol. -- Kevin Woodley
