NHL to go into early shutdown mode, return hinges on testing
The NHL's COVID-19 situation continues to get worse, and nkw the league has decided to go into Holiday mode a bit early.
According to Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli, "... NHL, NHLPA have agreed to suspend all operations for Dec. 22-25 and will re-open team facilities on Dec. 26 no earlier than 2pm local time. No practice, no testing during those days."
"Tuesday's 2 remaining games will be played - pending test results."
There was some speculation the league not play again until the Winter Classic on January 1st, it it sounds as though that won't be the case if testing goes the way the NHL hopes it does.
