Off the trail...

- An unnamed player on the Penguins has tested positive for COVID-19, so that sure isn’t good news. [PensBurgh]

- Diversity is an obvious issue in the NHL these days, but it sounds like the league is taking steps to change that narrative. [ESPN]

- It’s not a guarantee yet, but don’t be shocked if Edmonton winds up being one of the hub cities for the playoffs. [TSN]

- There are a lot of garbage human beings playing NHL 20 these days. Thankfully, EA Sports is stepping in and silencing those individuals.
