No NHL players have tested positive for COVID-19 but an NBA player on the Utah Jazz had, which led to a suspension of their season.
As of Wednesday night, the NHL has said they are "evaluating the options" after the NBA chose to suspend their season but have not said if they plan to suspend the NHL season.
The Penguins are scheduled to play the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in a game that is not open to the public.
