Pittsburgh Penguins Reveal More Positive Cases of COVID-19
The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to battle the COVID-19 virus and this time around it's hit their captain Sidney Crosby and defenseman Brian Dumoulin.
Not the news we were hoping for.

Coach Sullivan confirms that Sidney Crosby and Brian Dumoulin missed practice after testing positive for COVID-19. Both players are in the COVID protocol right now.
Crosby has mild symptoms and Dumoulin is currently asymptomatic.
The Penguins have been one of the many teams to deal with outbreaks this season and the pandemic is very much still alive across the NHL. The Penguins list of players who have gone on the protocol list is starting to rival their active roster:
Sullivan added that Crosby is displaying mild symptoms and Dumoulin is currently asymptomatic. Symptomatic players are typically expected to miss at least 10 days. Crosby just made his debut last week after missing the start of the season rehabbing from wrist surgery. Not the news the Penguins wanted to receive today at all.#Pens that have entered COVID-19 protocol this season:

-- Sidney Crosby (current)
-- Kris Letang
-- Jeff Carter
-- Brian Dumoulin (current)
-- Jake Guentzel
-- Chad Ruhwedel (current)
-- Marcus Pettersson (current)
-- Zach Aston-Reese
Masks should have be mandatory in the team facilities all year among players & staff, not just during positive cases. Fans should not be in the practice facility. Common sense stuff. Especially after seeing what's happened to Rossi, Archibald, & Sutter from COVID complications.
