The NHL has maintained a clean slate in each bubble for the sixth consecutive week.
The league recorded zero positive COVID-19 tests among the 2,814 administered from Aug. 23 to 29.
As per NHL protocol, the league completed daily testing for players and every other member of the teams' 52-person traveling groups.
The second round of the postseason could conclude as early as Tuesday, at which point the two remaining Eastern Conference clubs will join the two surviving teams out west in the Edmonton bubble for the remainder of the playoffs.
The NHL's streak of zero positive tests includes the week leading up to the restart when teams arrived at their respective hub cities.
