The Nashville Predators announced Wednesday that head coach John Hynes, three assistant coaches and six players are in the COVID-19 protocol.

Forwards Mikael Granlund, Ryan Johansen, Matt Luff, Michael McCarron and Philip Tomasino and defenseman Ben Harpur joined Hynes, assistant coaches Dan Lambert and Todd Richards and goaltending coach Ben Vanderklok.

Two other unidentified members of the traveling party are also in the protocol, general manager David Poile announced.
