The Dallas Stars will resume practicing on Tuesday, four days after six players and two staff members tested positive for COVID-19.
Dallas had its first three games -- at Florida on Thursday and Friday, and at Tampa Bay on Sunday -- postponed. The defending Western Conference champions are now tentatively set to open at the Lightning on Jan. 19 in a Stanley Cup Final rematch.
Dallas players and staff have been self-isolating and the team's training facilities were closed since Friday amid contact tracing.
On a video call with the media Monday, deputy commissioner Bill Daly said that the league is "still trying to get our arms around how the spread occurred" among the Stars.
