If teams are able to carry 10 extra players, it would take a massive number of injuries to run out of warm bodies.
I would think goalies would be the biggest risk, and it wouldn't help the Flames because their only junior goalie is an American playing in the States, so recalling him would be as tough as any of the players in Stockton.
Assuming they can use the rapid-testing at the airport when they arrive, players would only need to quarantine for 4 days after crossing the border.
