COVID-19 protocols keep Chicago Blackhawks’ Kevin Lankinen, Mike Hardman out of practice
The announcement on the team’s second day of training camp doesn’t necessarily mean that either player tested positive. General manager Stan Bowman said Thursday that the team was 100% vaccinated.
The 26-year-old Lankinen is coming off a solid rookie season, going 17-14-5 with 3.01 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. He is expected to back up Marc-Andre Fleury this year.
Hardman, 22, made his NHL debut last season, finishing with a goal and two assists in eight games.
