Nine Pens Players Sidelined Due To Potential Coronavirus Exposure

(WPXI) – Nine players are being sidelined from the Pittsburgh Penguins’ training camp due to potential secondary exposure to COVID-19, the team announced Monday. The team is voluntarily sidelining the players, who might have been exposed to someone who had contact with a person that has tested positive for the virus. The team said it learned of the possible secondary exposure on Sunday. “The decision to isolate this group of players was made out of an abundance of caution in an effort to avoid exposure to anyone else within the organization. The nine players will not participate until they are deemed safe in accordance with NHL protocol and further test results,” a news release said.
