Commissioner Gary Bettman said Tuesday night the NHL is targeting a Jan. 1 start for next season. That declaration came after recent talks between the league and NHL Players’ Association. NHL teams are expected to get camps of at least two weeks, just as they did before the expanded playoffs over the summer. Free agency opens Friday, with the NHL looking to speed through the offseason while planning to play in 2021. “It’s kind of been refreshing to get back and have somewhat of a tentative date for when we’re going to be coming back,” Washington Capitals defenseman Brenden Dillon said.

Detroit is on pace to have its second-worst record in the modern era, better only than the record posted by the 2003 team that finished 43-119. Fifty wins is nothing to write home about, but it does keep the Tigers off the list of the 20 worst records in the modern era. In order to stay off that list, Detroit has to win 19 of its remaining 65 contests.
