Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin has tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Friday.

"He is being monitored by the Canadiens medical staff and will follow the protocols set forth by the National Hockey League and the public health authorities," the club said in a statement.

Bergevin has been Montreal's GM since 2012-13 and has overseen six playoff appearances during his tenure, including a trip to the Stanley Cup Final this past spring.
