On Thursday, the NHL announced it delayed plans for the Vancouver Canucks to return to action Friday because of the COVID-19 outbreak that struck the team.
"The decision to extend the period prior to the team's resumption of play was made to provide Club staff and Players with additional time for recovery and preparation following its recent COVID outbreak," the announcement read. "The NHL made the decision with input from the League's, NHLPA's and Club's medical groups."
Schedule changes for the North Division will be released Friday.
Vancouver has not played a game since March 24.
