Update (10:56pm): Rumors are the season will be suspended tomorrow, with the standings being frozen and the playoffs beginning in April.

#BREAKING The NHL will have a statement re: the remainder of the season tonight. … Personally I'd be shocked if they didn't follow the NBA's lead and postpone games

Stay safe folks. Read up and get informed from medical sources, not social media, not politicians, not your neighbor. Medical sources. Wash your hands. Keep social distance.
