Monday night's matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers has been postponed, the NHL announced. The league made the decision after Montreal placed forwards Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Joel Armia on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list earlier Monday.
This move marks the first postponement of the season for a game in the North Division.
The Canadiens and Oilers are set to play a three-game series this week in Montreal. Whether the other games will be affected remains unclear.
