The fifth and deciding game of the PWHL’s semifinal playoff series between Minnesota and Montreal set for Monday night was postponed because of player safety concerns related to an illness.
Hours after announcing Game 5 between the Frost and Victoire would not be played on time, the league announced it was rescheduled for Tuesday night in Laval, Quebec.
Two people with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press the illness is limited to Montreal. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the PWHL is not revealing that information.
The PWHL said medical assessment has determined that the symptoms are not consistent with hantavirus.
