St Louis Blues shut down all practices after Covid outbreak

The St Louis Blues join the Tampa Bay Lightning as teams that have had to shut down their operations and facilities due to a Covid outbreak with multiple positive tests.

Much like in Tampa the turnaround should be fairly quick. The team is expected to be allowed back into the facilities on Monday, but the building will be closed this weekend to give a deep clean.

Another outbreak has certainly got the NHL's attention, but to be clear, it was expected to see some positive testing after the testing was ramped up in each city.

Here's hoping everyone recovers and the Blues will be ready to go into Edmonton to defend their title.
