The NHL's bubbles remain effective in combatting the coronavirus.
Zero positive COVID-19 tests were recorded in the second week since the return-to-play plan was initiated, the league announced Monday.
More than 7,000 daily tests were conducted on all members of each teams' 52-person traveling group from Aug. 2-8.
The NHL also found no positive test results during the first week of the restart (July 27-1), which followed clean results during the week leading up to the return (July 18-25) as players began reporting to the hub cities.
