The Flames had three games postponed by the league on Monday because of the outbreak that already caused nine players and one staff member to enter the protocol entering Tuesday and another game postponed Wednesday. Per the NHL's website, the Flames placed forwards Byron Froese, Johnny Gaudreau, Trevor Lewis and Tyler Pitlick; defensemen Rasmus Andersson and Erik Gudbranson; and goalie Jacob Markstrom into the COVID-19 protocol on Wednesday.
