COVID-19 holds a lot of mystery and what is one starting lineup today could be a totally different one tomorrow. The Sens haven&#8217;t started the season out well either. They are just 3-7-1 in their first 11 games. With the loss of Brown, their third-leading point-getter, The lack of scoring depth for the Sens will be on full display during his absence.<\/p>\n<p>No one ever wants to make any assumptions, but it&#8217;s safe to say an outbreak is of major concern right now for the entire organization. You can&#8217;t plan for situations like this, but it goes without saying that a team like the Sens will be in some deep trouble for as long as this lasts.<\/p>\n<p>Currently scheduled for a bout in Boston Tuesday night, it&#8217;s unclear what plans the NHL has for potential postponement of games. Safety is a top priority for the league. With five personnel currently on the list, there&#8217;s an unfortunate likelihood that the list will grow in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ottawa Senators have announced that forward Connor Brown, among other Senators, has been placed in COVID-19 protocol.
