2022-01-11 18:33:10 GMT+00:00 – Tuesday night’s scheduled game in Philadelphia between the Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes was postponed due to COVID-19 issues with the Flyers.

It is the seventh postponed game for Carolina and the fourth for Philadelphia.

The Flyers put Rasmus Ristolainen on the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, a day after fellow defenseman Justin Braun was added. Captain Clade Giroux now is off the list, but defenseman Ivan Provorov and forward Travis Konecny remain in the protocol.

The Hurricanes said Tuesday that defenseman Jaccob Slavin entered the protocol.

Both teams are scheduled to return to action on Thursday — the Hurricanes at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Flyers on the road against the Boston Bruins.
