In what was the most positive news since the National Hockey League went on lockdown back in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reports emerged today that suggests hockey could be back soon.
According to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, the NHL and the NHLPA Return To Play Committee are making progress on a 24-team playoff format after being locked in talks all weekend.
With further discussions expected this coming week, we could well be in for a big week of hockey-related news.
Plus, we could also get an announcement on the 2020 NHL Entry Draft this week, with LeBrun reporting that holding the flagship event in June before the season returns may not be feasible anymore.
