The Boston Bruins have placed head coach Bruce Cassidy in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, the team announced Tuesday.
Someone entering COVID-19 protocol does not necessarily mean they have contracted the virus. The team did not cancel practice on Tuesday.
The Bruins have not disclosed further information about whether or not Cassidy, 56, tested positive. GM Don Sweeney said Tuesday that Cassidy had minor symptoms and that assistant Joe Sacco will take his place behind the bench.
The Bruins hold an 11-7-0 record on the season.
In the same vein, Sweeney mentioned during media availability that the Bruins are unable to call up reinforcements from the AHL's Providence Bruins because of a COVID outbreak on that team. Reports from the area are indicating the team has shut down operations for two days.
Boston's next game is at home on Tuesday night against the Detroit Red Wings.
