Noah Hanifin, Milan Lucic and Sean Monahan are the latest Flames to be placed in COVID-19 protocol on Tuesday after Elias Lindholm, Andrew Mangiapane, Brad Richardson, Adam Ruzicka, Chris Tanev, Nikita Zadorov and a member of the team’s training entered the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol on Monday.

The first of the Flames’ game postponements came on Monday, when Calgary was supposed to face the Blackhawks in Chicago. The Flames’ two other games to be postponed would’ve been in Nashville on Tuesday and a home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.

No make-up dates for the three postponed games have been announced.
