NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says he has no plans on cancelling the remainder of the NHL season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bettman spoke Tuesday at a virtual town hall hosted by the San Jose Sharks for members of their business alliance.

According to The Mercury News, Bettman responded to a question on the season by saying he was not contemplating ending the 2019-20 season without handing out the Stanley Cup.

He said cancelling is too easy a solution, and states and cities are gradually reopening.

The NHL suspended the season on March 12 due to the novel coronavirus.
