NHL players could return to team facilities by early June

The National Hockey League’s “Return to Play” plan will soon enter its second phase.

The NHL announced Monday it’s looking at early June for players to return to team facilities.

Only six players will be allowed on the ice for workouts and players must wear face masks when entering or leaving facilities.

Although early June has been targeted, a specific date of return or how long Phase 2 will last is not clear.
