Pittsburgh, PA (WBEN) The Sabres will have General Manager Kevyn Adams behind the bench for tonight's game vs. Pittsburgh. This as the head coach and assistant are in COVID protocol.
Acting Coach Don Granato and Acting Assistant Matt Ellis have been self-isolating under the NHL's COVID19 protocol.
The team made the announcement two hours before the opening faceoff.
This marks the second time the Sabres have been hit by COVID-19 in two months. Buffalo's season was paused for two weeks in early February after nine players and then-coach Ralph Krueger were placed in the protocol. Krueger was fired last week.
Buffalo is coming off a 5-2 loss at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, which extended the team's winless skid to a franchise-worst 0-13-2. It matches the NHL's longest skid since the Phoenix Coyotoes went 0-8-4 with three ties from Feb. 21 to March 21, 2004.
