The NHL will have more on this, but, the New Jersey Devils shutdown is likely going to cover the next week.

Goaltender turned insider Kevin Weekes was first to report the news. Darren Dreger of TSN has no indicated that it's likely the Devils will have all of their games moved from this week, meaning it's a large number of players that are dealing with the virus.

Makes you wonder how the players are contracting the virus when they are supposed to be basically in their own bubbles on the road and at home, and are getting tested on a regular basis.

More to come once we know, but for now, if you have any Devils players in your hockey pool, may want to find some replacements for this week.
