It was never going to be easy this time around. First off, it was a league wide return. Secondly, and most importantly, this isn’t a bubble situation so we can expect more of it across the NHL.
Remember, even with Return-To-Play, before everyone got into their respective bubbles there were positive cases coming in. Auston Matthews likely being the biggest name out there to get it. Then the Tampa Bay Lightning had to shut down their training facilities followed by the St. Louis Blues as well.
So no one should be taken aback by the fact we’ve had several teams cancel practices and one needing to postpone the start of their season.
