Per the league, the unidentified player is in
self-isolation and has not had close contact with any other
Avalanche players or staff members.
He is the eighth NHL player to test positive for COVID-19. The
five others all play for the Ottawa Senators.
The Avalanche played at San Jose on March 8, one day after the
Sharks played host to the Senators despite a recommendation from
officials in Santa Clara County against holding large public
gatherings due to the fear of spreading the coronavirus.
The Colorado players used the same visiting locker room as the
Senators.
Santa Clara County later banned all mass gatherings through the
end of March due to the virus.
The NHL paused its season on March 12 due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
