The NHL and the National Hockey League Players' Association have announced the suspension of all operations from Wednesday to Christmas Day amid an increase of positive COVID-19 tests.

All team facilities will be closed until Boxing Day, the league and players' association announced in a joint statement Monday night.

The decision will result in five additional NHL games being postponed. Games are scheduled to resume next Monday.

THE BAT FLIP – Few moments in Blue Jays history can be described in just two words. But this one can. Bautista’s go-ahead, three-run home run in the 2015 American Divisional League Series powered the club to their first playoff series win in 22 years and the celebration it set off inside the sold-out Rogers Centre won’t soon be forgotten.

“It was such a big moment of such a crucial series and I was lucky enough to be in that position,” Bautista told CP24 this week. “Being able to connect on that home run, for the franchise it was huge and it created a lot of memories for the fans.”
