Amid the coronavirus pandemic, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said he hopes to know more about the league's future by the end of April.
"I think right now there's too much uncertainty," Bettman said Tuesday in an interview with NBCSN.
He added that while the "best thing, and the easiest thing" would be to complete the regular season and playoffs as usual, the league is currently looking at a number of different ways to finish the season.
"We understand that that may not be possible and that's why we're considering every conceivable alternative to deal with whatever the eventuality is," Bettman added.
