Commissioner Gary Bettman was a guest on NBCSN's "Lunch Talk Live" on Tuesday afternoon and discussed the uncertainty surrounding the remainder of the NHL season due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Bettman said that right now, it's too early to know what a timeline would look like for finishing the season.
"Hopefully we’ll all know more by the end of April," he said. "From an NHL standpoint, we’re viewing all of our options. We want to be ready to go as soon as we get a green light…Nothing’s been ruled in, nothing’s been ruled out.”
Bettman added that he believes that the league could play "well into the summer," because the ice-making technologies are so advanced now that the ice shouldn't be a problem in any condition.
