Training camp began Monday for the 24 teams participating in the NHL’s expanded playoffs, the third of four planned phases of the league’s Return to Play plan.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said these extraordinary times led him and the players’ union to ensure labor amity until Sept. 15, 2026.
Montreal Canadiens forward Max Domi, who has Type I diabetes and celiac disease, did not report to training camp and reportedly will take a week or 10 days to decide whether he will play or whether he will opt out. Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews, in a story published, confirmed that he had been diagnosed with COVID-19 while at his offseason home in Arizona though he was asymptomatic.
The Pittsburgh Penguins said they put nine players into voluntary isolation because of “potential secondary exposure to an individual who had contact with a person that has tested positive for COVID-19.” The nine won’t be allowed to participate in training camp activities until they follow NHL testing protocols and it’s deemed safe for them to join their teammates.
