The National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks will return to play on Sunday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the league announced on Friday.
The game is scheduled to be played at 7 p.m. ET in Vancouver’s Rogers Arena.
The league had originally scheduled the Canucks to play the Edmonton Oilers on Friday, the team's first game since March 24, but delayed the return on Thursday after comments made by Canucks forward J.T. Miller following a Covid-19 outbreak in which at least 21 Canucks players tested positive for the virus.
"We try to talk about the number one priority being the player's health and their families' safety, and it's almost impossible to do what they've asked us to do here on our return," Miller said to reporters on Wednesday.
Canucks general manager Jim Benning said on Friday that every player will have to pass a medical evaluation before returning to the ice.
