The NHL reportedly will stop testing asymptomatic players for COVID-19 after an agreement between the league and the players association, per Emily Kaplan of ESPN.
The new policy will begin after the upcoming All-Star break on Feb. 4-5.
Players who show symptoms of COVID-19 will still be required to test for the virus, as will full teams who cross the border between the United States and Canada as part of the NHL schedule.
According to Kaplan, 73 percent of players in the NHL have tested positive for COVID at some point in the 2021-22 season.
