Rangers' entire coaching staff in COVID-19 protocol

The entire New York Rangers coaching staff is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers due to COVID-19 protocol, the team announced.

That list includes head coach David Quinn and his assistant coaches Jacques Martin, David Oliver, and Greg Brown.

Kris Knoblauch, the New York AHL affiliate Hartford Wolf Pack's bench boss, will serve as acting head coach. Wolf Pack associate coach Gord Murphy and Rangers associate general manager Chris Drury will join Knoblauch behind the bench.

It remains unclear when Quinn and his staff will be able to rejoin the team.

Rangers forward Pavel Buchnevich and defenseman Adam Fox were added to the COVID-19 list Monday but were removed Wednesday and will play versus the Flyers.
