NHL suspending its season due to coronavirus pandemic
Latest from NHL
No NHL players have tested positive for coronavirus “to the best of my knowledge,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday on CNBC. He added that he’s not aware of any players being “monitored” for it either. Meanwhile, Dallas Stars GM Jim Nill told The Athletic that he’s waiting on a test kit for winger Alexander Radulov, who had been sick for two weeks before improving. "He was in quarantine the whole time," said Nill.
Will NHL players get tested for coronavirus? Deputy commissioner Bill Daly tells ESPN: "At this point it’s a team-by-team thing. Testing kits are controlled by local health, and each state is allocated different amounts based on population and experience. At this point, the need for testing is greater than the supply of tests. That will start to change as manufacturers are ramping up production."
