The NHL and NHLPA have agreed to a tentative 56 game schedule that will start in mid January 2021, after finishing the season in a bubble that produced Tampa Bay as the Stanley Cup winner. 

Its expected, according to the digital edition of the Boston Globe, that a short training camp will start in Boston in a matter of days.

Its also possible that franchises in Canada will play their games entirely in the United States, as Canada has had strict rules regarding its borders in the midst of the pandemic.
