Winnipeg Jets place Connor and Schmidt in COVID-19 protocol
Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor and defenceman Nate Schmidt have been added to the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol.
The move was made just hours ahead of tonight’s road game against the Buffalo Sabres.
Connor and Schmidt will miss at least three games — tonight in Buffalo, Thursday in Toronto and Saturday at home against Los Angeles — due to a mandatory five-day quarantine.
Health permitting, they can return to action on April 6 when the Jets host the Detroit Red Wings.
