The NHL is following other leagues and the U.S. CDC by cutting COVID-19 isolation times to five days under certain conditions and where it is allowed by local laws. The change does not apply to Canada.
The NHL is following other leagues and the U.S. CDC by cutting COVID-19 isolation times to five days under certain conditions and where it is allowed by local laws.
The league has 25 teams based in the U.S. and seven in Canada and on Tuesday postponed nine games scheduled for north of the border because of attendance limits imposed by provincial governments. They apply for 14 days, at which time league and players' association officials will reconvene to review the situation.
"I think that's a good step," Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg said on a video call. "Obviously testing will still be a regular thing, I'm sure, and that's something that we dealt with all last year, so we're used to that. But I think that's the way to do it as long as we can keep everything in the way it's been, which has been pretty safe to me.
