An NWHL spokesman confirmed that Monday's game had been postponed, and Connecticut withdrew from the tournament. The league semifinals are scheduled for Thursday, and the Isobel Cup Final for Friday.
On Thursday, the Whitecaps and Whale postponed a game "out of an abundance of caution" after the Metropolitan Riveters withdrew from the tournament because of several positive COVID-19 tests.
According to the Boston Globe, the Connecticut team did not report to the arena Monday, while the Whitecaps warmed up and took a team photo. The game was for seeding ahead of the semifinals.
