Forward Paul Byron and goalkeeper Cayden Primeau are the latest Montreal Canadiens to be on the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list.

They are joined by teammates Laurent Dauphin, Mike Hoffman, Artturi Lehkonen, Tyler Toffoli, Ben Chiarot, Joel Edmundson, Jeff Petry, Chris Wideman, Jake Allen and goalkeeping coach Eric Raymond.

Byron has yet to play a game this season after hip surgery in the summer. He was expected to play Tuesday in Tampa, but was scraped earlier in the day.

Primeau was supposed to start Thursday in Carolina. Montreal is now down to two healthy goalkeepers: Sam Montembeault and Michael McNiven, who has never played in an NHL game.
