NHL postpones 3 more Canadiens games

The Montreal Canadiens won't play again until at least March 30 after the NHL postponed the club's games through Sunday due to COVID-19 protocol.

Montreal was supposed to host the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday and Friday before playing the Ottawa Senators at the Bell Centre on Sunday. The Canadiens are scheduled to take on the Senators next Tuesday in a road contest.

Montreal forwards Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Joel Armia landed in COVID-19 protocol Monday, forcing the postponement of that night's home game against the Oilers. It was the first postponed game in the North Division this season.

The league expects the team to reopen their practice facilities next Monday, pending test results in the coming days.
