NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman made a televised announcement Tuesday about the league’s return to play plan.
Bettman announced that the 2019-20 regular season was considered over and that everything in regards to stats and awards would be determined based upon the league’s pause on March 12.
Moving forward, Bettman confirmed that 24 teams will eventually be resuming play, the top 12 from each conference determined by points percentage as of March 12.
The league plans to resume play in two “hub” cities that have not yet been determined, but that have been narrowed down to 10 options.
