Pettersson, who is also dealing with an undisclosed injury, has entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and will not play Saturday in Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Pettersson tested positive for COVID-19 at the start of November, and though he'd returned to game action, Canada requires those who test positive to quarantine for 14 days. Given that Pettersson was injured Thursday against the Panthers, it's unclear at this point if he'll be ready for Sunday's game in Washington.
