For the third time since the coronavirus pandemic put a halt to NHL games, the league has extended its quarantine period for players and staff until April 30.
The National Hockey League announced the postponement of the 2019-20 season on March 12, leaving 189 regular-season games hanging in the balance, and allowed players to leave their teams, many of whom have returned to their homes across North America and Europe.
