Thursday Links, News and Notes: Return to Play Details
Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/Getty ImagesThe NHL and the NHLPA agreed on a return to play plan on Monday, and we’re now getting a few more details.
There is going to be a lot of hockey at first, with six games per day on the schedule. Games will start at noon, 4pm and 8pm local time in each city, with the top-4 seeding games in the 4pm slot and the play-in games opening and closing the day.
Rosters are expanded, but not fully open unlike they usually are during the playoffs - teams are limited to 31 players, including goalies.
