Arizona Coyotes report a positive Covid-19 test

The NHL continues to work it's way through some positive Covid results, after a player for the Bruins tested positive earlier this week, and now it's a staff member from the Arizona Coyotes. The league continues to go through Phase 2 of the Return to Play plan, and knew the potential of positive tests would be there, but not sure they were expecting a positive test on back to back days.

Here's more from NHL.com on the matter out of Arizona:

The Arizona Coyotes were advised Saturday that a staff member has tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. The staff member, who is in the Valley, is asymptomatic and feeling well, and is in isolation at his home. Individuals who had close contact with the staff member have been notified. All other Coyotes staff and players invovled in Phase 2 testing protocol have tested negative for Covid-19. The Coyotes will continue to follow all of the NHL-mandated protocols for testing and risk mitigation. The health and safety of our players, staff, fans, and community is our top priority. The Coyotes have no further comment at this time.
