Commissioner Gary Bettman announced Tuesday that the 2019-20 regular season is officially over, citing the coronavirus, and the league will aim to move forward with the Stanley Cup playoffs in two hub cities that will be identified at a later date.

The remaining 16 teams will be seeded by conference, setting up best-of-five series in the East of No. 5 Pittsburgh vs. No. 12 Montreal, No. 6 Carolina vs. No. 11 New York Rangers, No. 7 New York Islanders vs. No. 10 Florida, and No. 8 Toronto vs. No. 9 Columbus. The seven teams looking forward to the NHL Draft lottery include: Buffalo, New Jersey, Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose, Ottawa and Detroit.Clubs will be permitted to travel with a maximum of 50 team personnel to their hub city, and a limited number of people will be able to access the event level at each venue.

The league is currently in Phase 1 of its return-to-play plan, which consists of clubs self-isolating as much as possible. Bettman stated that in early June, the league expects to enter Phase 2, which means clubs can return to their individual practice facilities or voluntary small groups on-and-off ice training. Phase 3 of the plan will be the opening of formal training camps.
