by Brandon Maron from on (#5TCVH)
The Tampa Bay Lightning placed forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, defenseman Mikhail Sergachev, and goaltenders Andrei Vasilevskiy and Brian Elliott in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, according to team reporter Bryan Burns.
Assistant coach Rob Zettler also entered protocol, joining head coach Jon Cooper, who was placed on the list earlier this week.
The Lightning had no players in protocol prior to Sunday. The club is scheduled to play the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night when the NHL resumes.
With Vasilevskiy and Elliott both potentially unavailable, the club will turn to Maxime Lagace, Amir Miftakhov, or Hugo Alnefelt in net.
