Coyotes' Jakob Chychrun: Placed in COVID-19 protocols

Chychrun (upper body) entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday.

Chychrun will likely miss an eighth consecutive contest due to his entry into the league's virus protocols. He has missed the last seven games due to an upper-body injury he suffered before the contest against the Coyotes on Dec. 11. The defenseman averaged 25:06 of ice time, 2:27 during the power play and logged five points over his last 10 appearances.
