How does Pietrangelo or any NHL player get on the COVID list? It’s spelled out in this statement on the NHL media site:

And here’s the players on that COVID protocols list for Friday:

At City National Arena, hockey programs will continue, while the MacKenzie River Pizza restaurants and the Arsenal team store will remain open. The Golden Knights statement on that: “As a precautionary measure, the Golden Knights off-ice player areas at City National Arena (locker room, lounge, gym, training room and video room) will be closed to all players and team staff until further notice. City National Arena hockey programming, the Arsenal and MacKenzie River Pizza remain open at City National Arena and continue to operate under the guidelines set forth by the State of Nevada and local health officials.

“The Golden Knights organization has, and will continue to follow, all recommended guidelines aimed at protecting the health and safety of its Players, staff and community at large as set by the NHL, local, state and national agencies.”
