NHL exec: Cities are offering to host neutral-site games

Lehtikuva/Martti Kainulainen via REUTERSThe NHL season, like those of all other major North American sports leagues, was halted in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the report, among the sites that could host games, probably without fans in the stands, are Grand Forks, North Dakota; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. No neutral site has yet been vetted by the NHL, according to Daly. All NHL teams had between 11 and 14 regular-season games remaining when play was halted. The format to be used when and if action resumes remains uncertain.
“I would say that a best-of-one is not something we would ever go to. I’ve always had the caveat that everything is on the table and nothing is out of the question. I would say there would be a strong opposition to ever creating a playoff where it was a single elimination. I think best-of-three is more possible, not preferred, but more possible than a best-of-one scenario.”
