The news nobody wants to see as it's being reported another Colorado Avalanche player has tested positive for Covid-19. The name of the player infected has yet to be released.

As mentioned in the statement the player is in self-isolation and has not made recent contact with any other player or staff. Details are slim at this point as we wait to hear further on potentially who the player is and how they may have contracted the virus. The second case for the Avs was announced back on March 28th.

Avs' captain, Gabriel Landeskog had this to say last week on the matter:

It took a while for us to find out that a couple of the guys had tested positive, but from the conversations I've had, they are recovering well. We've been apart since our last game, which was March 11, so right away, I know our household we took it pretty seriously

We send our best to everyone out there, stay safe and stay home.
