For anyone wondering why Caleb Jones hadn’t been on the ice before Monday, and why he was skating with a small group until today, there is an answer.
According to Reid Wilkins, Jones arrived in Edmonton a couple weeks ago, and tested positive for COVID-19. He self-isolated and was unable to join the team for any activities until Monday, when he was skating in a small group.
