Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers, who have not played Feb. 7, returned to practice on Tuesday with 16 players on the ice.
General manager Chuck Fletcher said after the session that eight other players are expected to be back on the ice Wednesday.
"Not every player has the same quarantine timetable based upon their points of contact through tracing," Fletcher said. "I believe another eight players will be allowed to practice tomorrow."
Philadelphia is scheduled to play Thursday at home against the New York Rangers.
“Clearly we have some players that tested positive and some others in quarantine," Fletcher added. "Certainly the last four days we’ve seen a positive trend and we’re hopeful to continue in that direction and play on Thursday night.”

The Rangers will be without star forward Artemi Panarin and defenceman K'Andre Miller Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils.
