The NHL reportedly plans to move forward with a full 82-game schedule for the 2020-21 season, despite the COVID-19 pandemic pushing a planned start date into the winter.
Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reported the NHL "remains focused solely" on playing a full season and could look to compress games into a shorter window. The NHL has not announced formal plans for 2020-21, but it's expected a new season would begin in December or January.
Games are scheduled to resume later this month at two yet-to-be-announced "hub" cities, where players will be placed in a so-called bubble to ensure their safety.
