Coming out of the four-day holiday break, COVID-19 remains a massive concern for the National Hockey League as they&#8217;ve postponed three more games that were slated to be played later this week, the league announced Monday.
For the Winnipeg Jets, who haven&#8217;t played since Dec. 19, they were scheduled to resume their season on Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks, unfortunately, that game has been postponed due to &#8220;COVID-related issues.&#8221;

Additionally, the NHL also postponed two other matchups, including a home-and-home series between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche. The first meeting was scheduled for Dec. 29, with the second one set for New Year&#8217;s Eve.
All three contests are expected to be made up at a later date, potentially during the gap in February that was originally created for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
For now, the Jets are slated to resume their schedule &#8211; again &#8211; on Dec. 31 against the Calgary Flames, beginning at 8:00 pm CT.
