The Vancouver Canucks COVID problems worsened Friday with five more players added to the National Hockey League COVID-19 protocol list, bringing the team's total number to seven. Although not all 31 teams had reported, Friday's COVID protocol list named 15 players league-wide, meaning Vancouver's seven accounted for almost half of the names. Gaudette was pulled from Tuesday's practice following a positive test result and added to the NHL's protocol list that afternoon.
