The NHL teams entered their quarantined arena/hotel hub city bubbles with essentially a flat curve.

The league reported on Monday zero positive COVID-19 test results this past week as 24 teams conducted the second week of formal training camps. Overall for Phase 3, which began on July 13, the NHL reported just two positive tests.

“The NHL concluded Phase 3 [formal training camp] of its Return to Play on Saturday with no positive test results for COVID-19 among the 4,256 tests administered to more than 800 Players during the period from July 18-25,” the NHL said in a statement.
