Another member of the Minnesota Wild has entered COVID-19 protocols.
Monday, the Wild announced forward Jordan Greenway didn’t practice and entered health and safety protocols.
Greenway is the second member of the team to enter COVID protocols in a week, after defenseman Jonas Brodin entered protocols and was forced to miss Saturday’s NHL Winter Classic.
Additionally, the team announced goaltender Andrew Hammond was recalled from the Iowa Wild and placed on the taxi squad. His promotion comes after goalie Cam Talbot was injured in the Winter Classic. Head coach Dean Evason said Monday that Talbot won’t play in the team’s next game on Thursday.
Defenseman Calen Addison was also reassigned to the taxi squad, Minnesota announced.
