The 2019–20 NHL season is the 103rd season of operation (102nd season of play) of the National Hockey League. 31 teams are competing in an 82-game regular season. The regular season began on October 2, 2019,[1] and was originally scheduled to end on April 4, 2020. The 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs would have originally began a few days afterwards, with the Stanley Cup Finals held in late May and early June. The entire schedule was released on June 25, 2019. On March 12, 2020, the regular season was suspended due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3]
League business[edit]
Collective bargaining agreement[edit]
The current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is in its eighth season. Before the season started, both the NHL and the NHLPA had the choice to opt out of the CBA on September 1 and September 16, 2019, respectively. If either of them had opted out, the CBA would have expired at the end of this season.[4] On August 30, the NHL announced that they would not opt out.[5] On September 16, the NHLPA then also agreed not to opt out; therefore, the CBA will run its course until the end of the 2021–22 season.[6]
Salary cap[edit]
The salary cap is $81.5 million, as announced on June 22, 2019.[7]
Seattle expansion team[edit]
On July 17, 2019, the Seattle expansion team, set to begin play in the 2021–22 season, hired Ron Francis as their first general manager.[8] On August 22, 2019, the club stated that they will unveil their team name in early 2020.[9]
Rule changes[edit]
The following rule changes were proposed June 19, 2019 and approved the next day:[10][11]
- The league adopted the David Leggio Rule: deliberately moving the goalposts off its moorings to stop play on a breakaway will result in an awarded goal to the offensive team.
- In the event a net is inadvertently knocked off its moorings, or if a puck shot from beyond center ice is stopped and frozen by the goaltender, the face-off will take place in the goaltender's defensive zone, with the team on offense given choice of side. In such cases, the defensive team will not be allowed to make a line change.
- A puck that leaves out of play in the offensive zone will remain in the offensive zone for the next face-off.
- Players that lose their helmet during play must return to the bench as soon as it is feasible until it can be replaced, or the player must retrieve their helmet.
- Linesmen will now drop the puck at centre ice after goals and at the start of overtime instead of the referees.[12]
- Teams now have an unlimited number of coach's challenges, but failed challenges will now result in delay-of-game penalties instead of the loss of their timeout. The first failed challenge will result in a two-minute minor, and each subsequent failed challenge will result in a four-minute double-minor.
- A team may challenge goals that follow plays in the offensive zone that should have instead resulted in a stoppage before the puck went into the net. Missed stoppages include hand passes, pucks high-sticked to a teammate, and pucks hitting the netting or going into the players bench. The delay-of-game penalty for pucks going over the glass will still not be reviewable under this situation.
- All match and major penalties excluding fighting will be required to video review; officials will reserve the authority to reduce the penalty to a minor penalty depending on the result of the review, but referees cannot rescind a penalty altogether.
- Referees have the option to review high-sticking double minors at their discretion and without consultation with the NHL's Situation Room.
- The league eliminates the use of goal judges and assigns those duties to the in-house video replay official.[13]
- Modification to the tie-breaking procedure
To put more emphasis on teams winning in regulation, regulation wins (tracked in an additional RW column in the league standings) will now precede regulation and overtime wins (ROW) in the tie-breaking procedure. The league also added goals scored as a new tiebreaker. [14]
Player and puck tracking technology[edit]
After testing at the 2019 National Hockey League All-Star Game, the NHL planned to deploy player and puck tracking systems to all 31 NHL arenas prior to the start of the 2019–20 season.[15][16] This technology was developed in collaboration with a German Fraunhofer Institute using transmitters embedded inside pucks and jerseys.[16] It enables on-air features such as speed displays, puck tracking graphics (reminiscent of the FoxTrax graphics utilized in the late 1990s by previous U.S. national NHL broadcaster Fox, also developed by Sportvision), and marker graphics hovering above players.[17]
On September 5, 2019, it was reported that the league replaced its primary technology partner in its tracking technology, and thus the system likely would not get up and running until the 2020 playoffs.[18]
Media rights[edit]
This is the ninth season under the NHL's ten-year deal with NBC Sports and sixth season of its twelve-year Canadian rights deal with Sportsnet and TVA Sports.[19][20]
Both NBC Sports and Sportsnet celebrated International Women's Day on March 8, 2020, by featuring all-female broadcasting crews on their respective telecasts of St. Louis Blues–Chicago Blackhawks and Vegas Golden Knights–Calgary Flames.[21][22]
On January 2, 2019, the Chicago Blackhawks agreed to an exclusive multi-year deal with NBC Sports Chicago beginning with the 2019–20 season, ending the team's broadcasts on WGN-TV.[23]
Sinclair Broadcast Group and Entertainment Studios combined to purchase the former Fox Sports regional networks (FSN). Twelve of the NHL's 31 teams (Anaheim, Arizona, Carolina, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Florida, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis, and Tampa Bay) carry their television broadcasts through FSN. FSN was one of the properties Fox Corporation's predecessor 21st Century Fox divested in its sale to The Walt Disney Company, but which The Walt Disney Company could not keep due to antitrust concerns. This is Entertainment Studios' first entry into sports, while Sinclair has had a sports operation since 2014 that currently distributes the free-to-air network Stadium and is concurrently expanding into the regional sports network business with its stakes in these networks, YES Network and the upcoming Chicago-based Marquee Sports Network.[24] The FSN networks will continue to temporarily use the Fox Sports name under a transitional license agreement while Sinclair explores rebranding options.[25]
In August 2019, the Vegas Golden Knights agreed to a deal with Las Vegas broadcast television station KTNV to locally televise all of the team's 2019 preseason games over-the-air.[26]
In September 2019, the New York Islanders agreed to a two-year deal with WEPN-AM and WEPN-FM to broadcast a majority of their games. Since the two stations also broadcast New York Rangers and the NBA's New York Knicks games, WRHU of Hofstra University will continue to be used by the Islanders as an overflow station.[27]
This is the final season of Sportsnet's regional rights to the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers.[28] In December 2019, after having aired the first-ever NHL broadcast in the language earlier in the year, it was announced that the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) would air six of Sportsnet's Hometown Hockey games per season in Plains Cree over the next three years.[29]
Sports betting[edit]
As part of its renovations, the Philadelphia Flyers and Wells Fargo Center announced that SugarHouse Casino would become the venue's official sportsbook partner, with the venue adding two lounge areas with odds boards to promote the casino's sports betting app.[30][31]
Draft[edit]
The 2019 NHL Entry Draft was held on June 21 and 22, 2019, with Jack Hughes being selected first overall by the New Jersey Devils.[32][33]
Preseason games in Europe[edit]
Two preseason games were played in Europe.[34] The Chicago Blackhawks played against Eisbären Berlin at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany, on September 29, 2019.[35] The Philadelphia Flyers played against Lausanne HC at Vaudoise Aréna in Lausanne, Switzerland on September 30, 2019.[36]
General Manager of the Year Award[edit]
On November 19, 2019, the NHL announced it would rename the General Manager of the Year Award in honour of Jim Gregory, the recently deceased former manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs and former NHL executive. The official name is changed to the "Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award."[37]

Ward, who served as an assistant coach, was named interim head coach.[55][56] |

Regular season[edit]
The regular season began on October 2, 2019, and was originally supposed to end on April 4, 2020, but due to COVID-19, the season was suspended on March 12, 2020.[73]
International games[edit]
Three regular season games, branded as the NHL Global Series, were played in Europe.[34] The Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers played their regular season opening game on October 4, 2019 at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.[74] The Buffalo Sabres and Tampa Bay Lightning played two games at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden on November 8 and 9, 2019.[75][76]
Outdoor games[edit]
Three outdoor games were held during the 2019–20 season:
- The Heritage Classic was held on October 26, 2019, at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan, featuring the Calgary Flames and the Winnipeg Jets.[77][78]

All-Star Game[edit]
The 2020 National Hockey League All-Star Game was held in St. Louis, Missouri, at the Enterprise Center, the home of the St. Louis Blues on January 25, 2020.[83][84][85][86]
Postponed game[edit]
The St. Louis Blues – Anaheim Ducks game on February 11, 2020 was suspended at a 1−1 tie with 7:50 left in the first period after Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester collapsed on the bench in a medical emergency due to a cardiac episode.[87] He eventually had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator procedure and placed on injured reserve.[88] The game was made up on March 11. This resulted in the Blues' home game against the Florida Panthers being moved one day earlier from March 10 to March 9.[89][90][91]
Suspended season[edit]
As the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic spread across the globe, concern began to build that large crowds at sporting events would spread the COVID-19 disease. In early March 2020, the NHL suspended media access to the locker rooms, saying that only official personnel would be allowed in after the games to limit person-to-person contact. But after the National Basketball Association (NBA) suspended all games when two players tested positive for the disease, the NHL scheduled a meeting to discuss pausing the season. On March 12, the morning practice sessions and media access were canceled for all teams. Shortly after, they announced the 2019–20 season would be put on hold indefinitely.[2][3]
