The players may have had secondary exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
The Pittsburgh Penguins opened training camp Monday after voluntarily sidelining nine players who may have had secondary exposure to a person testing positive for COVID-19.
The Penguins did not reveal which players were held out as a precautionary measure. The NHL has barred teams from revealing injury or illness information as a way to protect player privacy.
The players in question were potentially exposed to an individual who had contact with a person who tested positive.
