Montreal Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme has a positive test for COVID-19 confirmed on Friday, according to a press release from the National Hockey League. Ducharme initially had a "presumptive positive result" yesterday, which was "confirmed on further testing today."

Here is how the rest of the press release read.

The test was initially reported as "inconclusive," and he is currently at home isolating after that initial test. Ducharme has served as interim head coach for the Canadiens since Feb. 24 when Claude Julien was fired. The 48-year-old led the Canadiens to a 15-16 record, but the team went on to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets in order to reach the semifinals of these playoffs. Montreal is currently tied with Vegas 1-1 in the series.

Ducharme joins Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar as another coach who was forced to miss some time due to a COVID-19 testing irregularity.
