Updated:

July 10th is the rumored date for the NHL to open training camps for the 24 teams that will return to play. At this time, it is expected that camp will last 3 weeks and teams will also play 2 exhibition games prior to play beginning. This puts the start of the play-in rounds to August, and will likely force at least the first round to a best of five in order to complete the tournament before October.
