Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

The Montreal Canadiens won’t have their general manager traveling with them for the next little while, as Marc Bergevin has a confirmed positive case of COVID-19. The team announced that he is being monitored by the Canadiens’ medical staff and following league protocols.

Obviously, this situation isn’t the same as a player that is unable to take part in games, but it still means Bergevin will need to be isolated from the rest of the staff. The team lost again Thursday night and has just one game remaining on its current homestand.

Hopefully, the active roster avoids any outbreak and the Canadiens are able to move on without any player hitting the COVID protocol list.
