Per 104.3 The Fan Avalanche Insider Adrian Dater, Colorado vaccinated all players and staff after Monday night’s 4-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes.
Before Wednesday’s news, one player — defenseman Bo Byram — had a positive test for COVID-19. Per Dater, he remains in quarantine and “likely won’t be able to play for the team another couple of weeks, at minimum.”
