New Jersey Devils News
The Devils added Tomas Tatar to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday (Dec.26).
Tatar and Jon Gillies were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday while removing five players. Expect Tatar to be out until at least the middle of next week.
The Canadiens added Jake Allen to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday.
The Canadiens' COVID-19 list grew to nine players, one day ahead of Tuesday's game in Tampa. With Allen out, look for Samuel Montembeault or Cayden Primeau to start.
Dadonov was added to the COVID-19 protocol list.
The Golden Knights are one of two teams left before the Christmas break but adding Pietrangelo and Dadonov to the COVID-19 protocol list muddies the chances of this game happening. If it does happen, the Golden Knights will be without Dadonov, who filled in on the top line with Mark Stone not available for their last game.
Bratt is on the ice for warmups; expected to return to the lineup on Sunday.
Bratt will not play Saturday due to a non-COVID related illness.
