Gary Bettman had a call today to effectively reiterate much of what was on the Return-to-Play memo that released not too long ago, and to reiterate things that were mostly already known through simple common sense.
But one thing is absolutely clear: The NHL has considered the 2019-20 Regular season complete after Game 70, which means of course, we have the following to announce:
- The Boston Bruins are 2019-20 President’s Trophy Winners, with a final record of 44-14-12, according to the way they’re doing this.
- The Rocket Richard trophy, given to the best goalscorer of the year, is going to be shared this year between David Pastrnak and Alex Ovechkin, who both finished the season with 48 goals.
