NHL records no positive COVID-19 tests for 5th straight week

The NHL's bubbles are still working.

For the fifth consecutive week, the league recorded zero COVID-19 cases among the 4,644 tests it conducted from Aug. 16 to 22.

As usual, testing was done daily on players and every other member of the teams' 52-person traveling groups.

The NHL also recorded perfect testing results in the week leading up to the restart when players reported to the hub cities.
