Boqvist-DeBrincat

Blackhawks defenseman Adam Boqvist and forward Alex DeBrincat have been added to the NHL's COVID-19 Protocol List, the league announced this afternoon. Neither player will be available for practices, travel or games until he is removed from the protocol.

Throughout the 2020-21 season, the NHL is releasing the names of Players who are "unavailable" to teams due to COVID protocols. This list is updated daily.
These "COVID Protocol Related Absences" can be the result of a number of factors including, among others: (1) an initial positive test which remains unconfirmed until confirmatory testing is completed pursuant to the Positive Test Protocol; (2) mandated isolation for symptomatic individuals pursuant to the Positive Test Protocol; (3) required quarantine as a high-risk close contact in accordance with the Positive Test Protocol; (4) isolation based on a confirmed positive test result and/or; (5) quarantine for travel or other reasons as outlined in the COVID-19 Protocol.
DeBrincat is second in team scoring with six points (2G, 4A) in six games for Chicago this season, while Boqvist has three assists in six appearances to start his sophomore campaign.
