After a barrage of individual cancelations and teams shutting down due to COVID outbreaks, the NHL and NHL Player’s Association have agreed to extend the Holiday Break, initially scheduled for Dec. 24-26, by two days. Despite only one of five scheduled games being played Monday night, the two remaining games on the schedule for Tuesday night (of an initial schedule of 10 games) are to be played as planned.
The extended break will begin on Wednesday, Dec. 22, and no club activities shall be held until Sunday, Dec. 26, which may only be used for travel, practice or COVID testing, with practices limited to after 2 p.
