Virus-battered Canucks aim to complete condensed season
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) The Vancouver Canucks are recovering from the NHL’s worst COVID-19 outbreak and believe they can complete the pandemic-condensed season.
An outbreak has ripped through the team over the past week and a half with 25 people 21 players and four members of the coaching staff testing positive, and one additional player being deemed a close contact.
General manager Jim Benning said Friday many of the players are feeling better.
“I think our players, for the most part, our players are on the other side of it,” he said. “We still have family members that are getting sick and I think the players worry about that.”
