Blue Jackets, NHL all set to resume season
A day of voting has changed the qualifiers. What used to be "ifs" are now "whens" after the NHL and its players association, the NHLPA, gave final approval Friday to a return plan for concluding the 2019-20 season and extending the collective bargaining agreement by four years. Both are now official, giving each side a measure of certainty that has been missing for nearly four months, since the coronavirus pandemic shut down the league and other sports.
