In the moments leading up to the start of the Capitals’ morning skate Tuesday, winger Daniel Sprong was pulled off the ice, according to the Washington Post.
Less than an hour after the start of their skate, the league announced that the game is postponed and will be rescheduled.
If those ticket holders aren’t able to attend the makeup game, they will be able to exchange them for tickets to another game.
Before the Capitals’ morning skate, the Flyers hit the ice for an optional practice at 10:30 a.m.
Now, with Flyers-Capitals postponed, the last remaining Tuesday game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Vegas Golden Knights may be in jeopardy due to positive COVID-19 tests, according to the Daily Faceoff.
They will have three days between the conclusion of the holiday break and their first game back to test, practice, and travel to the West Coast for a four-game road trip.
