By Erik Pedersen Managing Editor UPDATED, 5:15 PM: While the NHL and its players continue to negotiate a deal to resume the paused 2019-20 season, the league has unveiled plans to transition to Phase 2 of its plan to resume.

Starting on Monday, its 31 teams will be allowed to reopen training facilities in their home city to allow players to participate in on- and off-ice training activities on a voluntary basis.

They will be limited to small groups of six at the most,, plus a limited number of staff. The measures are intended to provide players with a safe and controlled environment in which to resume their conditioning, the league said, noting that Phase 2 is not a substitute for training camp.
