DeBrincat was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Because DeBrincat won't be able to travel or practice while on the protocol list, he'll almost certainly miss both Tuesday and Wednesday in Nashville. The 5-foot-7 winger is second on the team with six points through six games. Matthew Highmore and Lucas Wallmark are two forwards that could replace DeBrincat assuming he does miss time.
