Gaudreau and six other Flames entered into the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau will need to submit two negative tests before he is eligible to return to the ice. The 28-year-old had collected nine points through his last 10 performances. Blake Coleman is likely to see an expanded role in Gaudreau's absence. However, with so many Flames entering the virus protocol, postponement of more upcoming contests seems likely.
