The first week of full training camps for the resumption of the NHL season brought just two positive COVID-19 tests among more than 800 players, a healthy indication the 24 teams will be able to report to their hub cities later this week without issue.
The NHL on Monday released its fourth weekly report of COVID-19 testing. It was, significantly, the first one including all the players expected to participate in the games at Toronto or Edmonton. The teams will travel to the quarantined arena/hotel bubble in their hub city on Sunday.
The NHL reported it administered 2,618 tests to more than 800 players in the five days since formal training camps – Phase 3 – opened on July 13 at team facilities.
