“Four Golden Knights players recently tested positive for the COVID-19 virus,” the team said in a statement. “Those individual players have been self-isolating and are all recovering well. As a precautionary measure, the Golden Knights off-ice player areas (locker room, lounge, gym, training room and video room) will be closed to all players and team staff through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.”
Seravalli adds that the number of positive tests may be higher, saying that the team confirmed only four positive tests on Monday.
In addition, multiple family members of Golden Knights players have also reportedly tested positive.
Adding context: should be noted that at minimum four VGK players have confirmed cases.
Sources indicate the number may be higher; team confirmed only four positive tests today.
