Senators announce 4 new Coronavirus cases as NHL pause continues

Anthony Scultore Updated: Apr 18, 2020

The Ottawa Senators announced 3 additional players and 1 staff member have tested positive for the coronavirus. That brought the Ottawa Senators total to 6 but the good news is that it appears they have all recovered from their bouts with COVID-19.

#Sens announce 4 additional members of the organization who travelled to California prior to season's pause have tested positive for COVID-19.

Believed to be 3 players and 1 staff member.

That brings #NHL total to 7 players COVID-19+, 5 on the #sens and 2 on the #Avs.

#TSN has been told all 6 members of the #sens organization who tested positive have recovered. And most that is great to hear.

NHL Pause

The NHL has extended its guidelines to banning players from getting together at their local facilities to practice until April 15th. I expect that to go to the end of the month to align with the latest 30 Days to Slow the Spread from the U.S. Government. Check out the video below for more details.
