The Sharks' next two-game series against the Vegas Golden Knights on February 1 and 3 has officially been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols. These two games were originally scheduled to be played in Arizona, but will now be played at a later date in San Jose.
As mentioned in the previous post, there have been some positive COVID-19 tests within the Golden Knights, leading to the postponement of their current series vs. the Blues. The Sharks' next two games have been added on to those games primarily as a precautionary measure. So far, there have been four members of the Golden Knights who have tested positive and are being isolated, consisting of one player and three coaches. Vegas' training facilities have been closed "until further notice," according to the NHL.
As for the Sharks, they will be flying back to the Bay Area tomorrow morning after a lengthy road trip to start the season. It sucks that their home opening series won't be played when they were supposed to be played, but at least they will be able to return home sooner than expected, be with their families and loved ones, and receive about a week of rest before facing the Ducks in Anaheim on February 5.
