Thankfully for the Jets they don't play this weekend.
''Arniel says Bowness is currently isolating and hopes to travel to Colorado for Wednesday's game against the Avalanche.
''Bowness is in his first season as Jets' head coach after spending the past three seasons with the Stars where he had an 89-62-25 record over 176 games. He took the team to the Stanley Cup Final in 2019-20.'' -TSN
Bowness took the Dallas Stars deep in the Covid bubble playoffs, but also tested positive for COVID-19 years ago mid-game, and had to leave the bench immediately.
