Buffalo Sabres forward Vinnie Hinostroza has been placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, the team announced Monday.
Buffalo's next scheduled game is Monday, Dec. 27 at home against the New York Islanders. The team had three previously scheduled games - vs. Columbus on Dec. 20, vs. Colorado on Dec. 22, and at Columbus on Dec. 23 - postponed due to COVID-19 cases affecting the Blue Jackets and Avalanche.
The Sabres are scheduled to practice Tuesday at 11 a.m. General manager Kevyn Adams will address the media following practice.
