If all goes according to plan, the National Hockey League will begin its next season on January 13, 2021. The league and the NHLPA officially came to an agreement on Sunday that will see teams play in a 56-game season. Although there are undoubtedly some details that still need to be worked out in the coming weeks, it certainly appears that we’ll be seeing NHL hockey sooner rather than later.
Temporary New Divisional Alignments
The league’s 31 teams will be split into four divisions: North (Canada), West, Central and East.
Buffalo will be in the East Division along with Boston, New Jersey, both New York teams, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington.
