The NHL and NHLPA have reached a tentative agreement that would bring labor peace for years and a return to the ice in August, according to a league announcement on Monday.

The deal, which includes a four-year extension of the collective bargaining agreement (through 2026) and a scheduled resumption of play on Aug. 1, still needs to receive final approval.

Elsewhere, Major League Baseball announced the schedule for its abbreviated 60-day season. The Red Sox will open at Fenway Park on Friday, July 24 against the Orioles.
