After the three postponements, Florida’s next game on the schedule is Dec. 27 at Carolina. Makeup dates have not been announced.

The Panthers had seven players out because of the virus during Thursday night’s 4-1 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings.

The Calgary Flames and Colorado Avalanche are also having games postponed because of COVID-19 issues.
