The NHL is awaiting the result of a players' vote on a 24-team playoff format before discussing its options on how to proceed in its bid to resume play.

With the NHL Players’ Association executive board could release the results of its vote as early as Friday, but numerous questions remain whatever the decision is.

They include potential game locations, when players can return to their respective teams and what non-playoff teams will be allowed to do during what could potentially become a 10-month break between games.
