The bubble remains effective, as the NHL did not record a single positive COVID-19 test for the eighth consecutive week since resuming play.
It's the ninth straight week overall for the league without any new cases. Testing began in the week before the return as players began reporting to the hub cities.
During the most recent period, from Sept. 13-19, the NHL conducted 1,127 daily tests on everyone in the teams' 52-member traveling parties, including the players.
