Hope everyone is dealing with the COVID-19 virus pandemic and the lack of NHL play, along with all other sports, as well as possible.

Remember to wash your hands (mine are starting to get raw), practice social distancing and to follow any stay-at-home mandates in your area.

The Avalanche on Thursday released a statement saying they were advised that a player tested positive for the virus, has been at home in isolation since the first symptoms appeared, has recovered and is back to normal. They have notified anyone who has had known close contact with the player.
