No new illnesses after postponement of Montreal-Minnesota PWHL playoff game, league says

There haven't been any additional players showing symptoms the day after a PWHL playoff game was postponed due to "player safety concerns related to illness."

The deciding semifinal Game 5 between the Montreal Victoire and Minnesota Frost was supposed to be played in Laval, Que. on Monday evening. The postponement was announced less than three hours before puck drop at Place Bell.

Instead, the game will be played at Place Bell on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. The winner will move on to play the Ottawa Charge in the Walter Cup final.

"No new symptoms have been identified since the postponement decision was made, and those who previously experienced symptoms are continuing to improve," PWHL spokesperson Paul Krotz said on Tuesday. "In addition, enhanced cleaning and disinfecting measures were enacted across team environments as an added precaution."

The league hasn't specified the nature of the illness, other than to say the symptoms aren't consistent with the hantavirus.

It appears the illness is isolated to the Victoire. A spokesperson for the Frost said all of the team's players "are healthy and preparing for the game [Tuesday] evening."

"We are continuing to monitor the situation and are taking the appropriate measures to ensure their health is continually monitored through our medical staff's guidance and supervision," Minnesota Frost spokesperson Abbey Zepper said.

The Victoire and Frost did not travel together to Montreal after Friday's Game 4 in Minnesota, something PWHL teams often do in the playoffs.

The decision to postpone Monday's game came after an evaluation by the PWHL's medical team, led by chief medical officer, Dr. Tina
