The Nashville Predators placed captain Roman Josi and forwards Thomas Novak and Colton Sissons in COVID-19 protocol, the team announced Monday.
Nashville removed Nick Cousins, Mikael Granlund, Philip Tomasino, Mark Borowiecki, Ben Harpur, Ryan Johansen, Matt Luff, and Michael McCarron from protocol. The latter two were placed on the team's taxi squad while the rest were moved to the active roster.
The Predators had one of the league's biggest outbreaks prior to the season pause on Dec. 22. Head coach John Hynes and multiple members of his coaching staff were also in protocol but have since been cleared, according to The Athletic's Adam Vingan.
Nashville, which is riding a seven-game winning streak, is slated to take on the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.
