New York Islanders games postponed amid COVID-19 outbreak

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."
