UPDATED: Blues dealing with discrepancies in COVID-19 testing – St. Louis Game Time

UPDATE: Oh, thank God:

You may have seen the earlier reports that the NHL and other sports leagues were having issues with potential false positives on COVID-19 tests.

If you were wondering what teams it was impacting, well, its the Blues. Of course, its the Blues. This situation is happening after NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said that the league was not considering any rescheduling of playoff games due to positive Covid tests.

This may or may not be related to David Perrons positive test that kept him out of Mondays 4-1 loss, but as of right now (1:15 pm), Schwartz, Tarasenko, and Binnington are not on the ice.

Blues GM Doug Armstrong has released a statement:

We have discovered discrepancies in Covid test results relating to multiple players. We have been in touch with and are working with the League to address these discrepancies with additional testing and expect to have further information later this afternoon.

The League will provide a further update when we have more information. Head Coach Craig Berube and our players will not be available to the media until after tonights game.

This post will be update with further info as it becomes available.
