The Ottawa Senators canceled practice as a precaution on Monday, one day after a player and a coach entered COVID-19 protocols.
Defenseman Nick Holden and associate coach Jack Capuano entered the protocol on Sunday, as did forward Austin Watson last Friday. This morning, forwards Connor Brown and Dylan Gambrell were added to the list as well.
The Senators’ next game is Tuesday night against the host Boston Bruins.
