The NHL is zeroing in on a return to action with neutral-site games.
Commissioner Gary Bettman said Monday that the league is eyeing "probably eight or nine different places" that each would play host to approximately 12 teams.
Multiple media outlets have indicated that Las Vegas is one of the frontrunners to be a host site. ESPN also reported that Minnesota, Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver also have submitted proposals to the NHL. According to Sportsnet, Columbus is another possibility.
