With players returning home, re-start of NHL season gets more difficult

Detroit — The resumption of the NHL season just might have been pushed back.

And that’s all assuming there will be a resumption of the season.

The NHL decided Monday to allow players to return to their offseason homes, a key change in the league’s policy concerning the coronavirus pandemic.

This decision came after a statement Sunday night from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention which recommended limiting large events and mass gatherings of more than 50 people covering the next eight weeks.
