Game 5 of the PWHL Walter Cup Playoffs between the Minnesota Frost and Montréal Victoire will be played Tuesday at 7pm ET at Place Bell after the game, originally scheduled for Monday, was postponed due to player safety concerns related to illness (PWHL). The PWHL made the announcement to postpone the decisive Game 5 “just hours before” the scheduled 7pm ET puck drop on Monday. The league also indicated that “all tickets for the game will be honored for the rescheduled date.” Sources said that the illness is “currently contained to the Montreal Victoire, with nobody on the Minnesota Frost sick as of Monday evening.” Players who are sick have been separated from the team. The league “first became aware of the player illness on Monday and made the decision to postpone the game after numbers continued to increase.” The league did “not disclose the nature of the illness, nor did it reveal how many players were sick.” However, the league said, “Medical assessment determined that the symptoms are not consistent with hantavirus” (THE ATHLETIC, 5/11).
