The Stanley Cup final is underway, which means that hockey will be done for the season soon. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has made scheduling nearly everything tentative, and that includes next season. The NHL has done an outstanding job with the playoff bubble system and their safety precautions (including playing in Canada) have helped post-season play go off without a hitch.
The league has said that it fully expects to get in an 82 game schedule for the 2021 season, and is planning on a traditional playoff schedule as well. With the end of the Final soon, the league will have all of October and November to assess return to play plans for camps and the new season.
