Krueger returns to Sabres' practice after positive COVID-19 test
Buffalo Sabres head coach Ralph Krueger returned to practice with his club Sunday after testing positive for COVID-19, the team announced.
Krueger tested positive on Feb. 4 as several Sabres players landed on the NHL's COVID protocol list following a weekend series with the New Jersey Devils that reportedly left Buffalo furious.
The Sabres haven't played since Jan. 31 but could return to the ice Monday versus the Devils.
Along with Krueger, star players Taylor Hall and Rasmus Dahlin returned to practice over the weekend. However, several Buffalo skaters - including Dylan Cozens and Rasmus Ristolainen - remain on the COVID list and are unable to participate in team activities.
Here's a look at the Sabres' lineup at practice Sunday:
