Get those sabres or islanders out of your lineup tonight...cancelled because of snow
The NHL postponed Tuesday's game between the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders due to COVID-19 protocol.

The Sabres delayed flying to New York City from Buffalo until Tuesday because of weather conditions Monday. That change affected COVID-19 contact tracing and testing procedures, forcing the league to reschedule the game.

Buffalo split a back-to-back against the New Jersey Devils on home ice Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, the NHL postponed the Devils' games through at least next Saturday following an outbreak within the club that caused 10 players to land on the league's COVID-19 protocol list.


Several other teams, including the Carolina Hurricanes, Dallas Stars, and Vegas Golden Knights, have postponed games this season.
 
Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, head coach Jared Bednar said Tuesday, according to The Athletic's Peter Baugh.

MacKinnon left Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Wild after playing the first two periods. It's unclear when he suffered the injury.

The 25-year-old ranks third in the NHL with 12 assists and is tied for third with 14 points in 10 games. He finished second in Hart Trophy voting last season and was the runner-up in 2018.


The Avalanche are dealing with a slew of injuries, much as they did in 2019-20. Bednar said Tuesday that forwards Matt Calvert and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, defensemen Erik Johnson and Devon Toews, and goaltender Pavel Francouz are all week-to-week as well.

MacKinnon played all but one of Colorado's 70 games last season, racking up 35 goals and 58 assists. His linemates, Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog, missed 16 and 28 contests, respectively, and netminder Philipp Grubauer was limited to 36 games.

The Avalanche are tied with the St. Louis Blues for first in the West Division, though the Blues have a game in hand.
