The #Coyotes have issued a statement regarding coronavirus. They explain measures they're taking to enhance fan safety while this illness spreads, and urge sick fans to not come to games:

No official word yet, but sources have indicated that it is unlikely the Coyotes' game vs. Vancouver will played tonight at Gila River Arena, given this decision. More to come from the NHL later today.

With the caveat that everything is fluid and changing, Cohen said that the expectation is to eventually resume the season. He highlighted the word "pause," not cancellation. But again, things are changing fast.
