The NHL is still waiting for clearance from the Canadian government to allow all players' families to join the bubble for the conference finals in Edmonton, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
Family members who are Canadian citizens and are currently in Canada are able to join the bubble, though they must self-isolate at home for seven days and produce three negative COVID-19 tests before traveling. They then must quarantine in a separate hotel room in the bubble and produce four negative tests before they can interact with players.
The NHL and NHLPA, however, have been in discussions with the Canadian government about additional exemptions for family members who must travel across the border, sources told ESPN.
