The National Hockey League announced Friday that its regular-season schedule will not resume prior to Tuesday, Dec. 28.

That means a Pittsburgh/Bruins match Monday is postponed. 

The League had planned to resume its schedule on Dec. 27, but in order to allow the League an adequate opportunity to analyze League-wide testing results and to assess Clubs' readiness to play, the target date for resumption of game play will be pushed back an additional day.

Teams returned to practice on Sunday and it is expected that the League will provide an update on its return to play plans by the end of day on Sunday.
