LAS VEGAS, NV (WTVB) – Sin City is considered a strong candidate to become one of the two hub cities for the NHL’s 24-team playoff format. There are 10 potential hub cities, including three in Canada and a decision is expected to come within the next 10 days.
The league and players must also agree on testing and health-and-safety protocols amid the pandemic before games can resume.
In other NHL news, the Boston Bruins announced an unidentified player tested positive for the coronavirus but has since tested negative for the disease on two occasions. General manager Don Sweeney added that the player did not take part in any informal workouts with teammates and did not have any symptoms of COVID-19.
