NHL Public Relations: Last night’s Anaheim Ducks game has been postponed and rescheduled.

“The National Hockey League announced today that due to COVID-related issues affecting the Anaheim Ducks, tonight’s game versus the Detroit Red Wings has been postponed.

The game has been rescheduled for Sunday, Jan. 9.”

Canadiens shut down

Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens and their AHL affiliate in Laval have been shut down through January 8th.

The Canadiens next game is scheduled for January 12th in Boston. Home games for the Canadiens on January 4, 6, 8, 10 and 15 have already been postponed.

Nash claimed and Ritchie on waivers

Elliotte Friedman: The Arizona Coyotes have claimed forward Riley Nash off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Elliotte Friedman: The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed forward Nick Ritchie on waivers.

Puck Pedia: “The #Leafsforever put 26 y/o LW Nick Ritchie on waivers.

Yr 1/2 $2.5M Cap Hit then UFA 1G 8P in 30GP
On ice 39% 5v5 GF, 50.8% DFF (-4.7% rel team), 51.6% Corsi (-1.5% rel) 0.95 5v5 Points/60″

Nick Ritchie, placed on waivers by TOR, is a bottom six power forward who is okay at generating offensive chances in tight but has not been able to finish them this season.

Oh, and he’s taken 54 more minor penalties than he’s drawn since 2018. #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/Vm3eguKNyA
