Fifteen of the 250 players who reported to training facilities for Phase 2 of the NHL's return-to-play plan have tested positive for COVID-19, the league announced Monday.
An additional 11 players who didn't report for voluntary workouts have tested positive since the opening of Phase 2 on June 8.
All players who tested positive have self-isolated and followed CDC and Health Canada protocols.
Training camps (Phase 3) are scheduled to open July 10, and the NHL does not plan to quarantine teams in "bubbles" during that time.
