Yesterday, the NHL provided further detail regarding compliance for the second phase to continue the 2019-2020 playoffs. It was only three days ago that the NHLPA approved the 24 team Stanley Cup playoff format. Tentative dates show the beginning of phase two will begin in early June. Phase three is dependent on how well phase two accommodates player health due to the pandemic.
What presents itself is the option for players to practice at NHL training facilities. This means that small-groups can condition on the ice or conduct weight training in the gym. Phase three would be the start of a three-week training camp for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
