The New York Islanders' next two upcoming games, and possibly more, have been postponed due to an outbreak of COVID-19, the NHL announced Saturday. The league said that "the team's games will be postponed at least through Tuesday, November 30."
Eight players on the team are currently under the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
"You can say it's unfortunate, but I don't want to say frustrations can get in the way," Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello said Saturday, according to NHL.com. "Certainly everyone is human, but right now all we can do is take a step back and use these three days and get prepared for our next practice and our next game."
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
