The combine was set to take place in Buffalo, N.Y., June 1-6; the awards were to be held in Las Vegas on June 18; and the draft in Montreal on June 26-27.

“The location, timing, and format of the 2020 NHL Draft (and Draft Lottery) will be announced when details are finalized,” the league said.

The NHL has not introduced a timeline as to when teams would return to the ice. The league suspended its season after seeing how the coronavirus impacted the NBA.

The virus is “really just entering the rapid acceleration phase, certainly in North America,” he said. “We want to be doing our part to not only protect our players but also our staff and our fans as the disease unfolds. It’s difficult to predict where the pandemic is going and what the timeline will be.”
