It’s official: NHL players are not going to be able to go to the Beijing 2022 Olympics due to concerns over COVID-19 and the impact the virus has already had on the NHL’s schedule. As a result of outbreaks hitting the league in the past two weeks, as well as an agreement to enter the Christmas break early in an effort to stem the spread of the virus, more than 50 games have already been postponed.
The Dallas Stars are one of the least impacted in the NHL this season after enduring a massive outbreak and playing one of the most compressed schedules in the league last season as a result.
