The NHL will be the first competition to stop due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in the United States, most of them due to the expansion of the Omicron variant. This Monday the NHL and the Players Association have met to analyze the situation and have decided to postpone the five games scheduled for Thursday, the last day before the Christmas holidays.
In this way, the last games that will be played before the break of the competition will be the meetings between the Washington Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers and the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Vegas Golden Knights, which will be played this Tuesday.
The NHL, which has already had to suspend a total of 49 games so far this season, expects to resume the competition next Monday the 27th with the dispute of the five games that had been scheduled for Thursday. In this way, players will rejoin their teams on Sunday to undergo tests and will not be able to access the venues until it is confirmed that they have tested negative.
The Winter Olympics at risk
The decision of the provisional hiatus of the NFL comes after the NHL and the Players Association held more meetings in recent days in which new protocols were agreed for the players and also the revision of the regular season schedule in the wake of the 49 games postponed to date.
A calendar revision that could seriously affect the presence of NHL players in the ice hockey competition of the upcoming 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, a matter on which the NHL and the Players Association continue to discuss and on which they hope to give a final decision in the coming days.
