For the NHL, the bubble experiment paid off.
On Monday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Dallas Stars 2-0 to win the Stanley Cup.
The NHL carried out more than 33,000 coronavirus tests over the course of nine weeks — and says none of them have come back positive as of Sept. 26. The league is expected to release a final report soon.
The NHL is the first of the four major North American pro sports leagues to crown a champion during the pandemic. The teams who made it to the final spent over two months in "secure zones," where they were sequestered from outsiders. Their immediate family members were only allowed to join them for the conference finals and the Cup Final.
In the bubble, they were tested daily and required to adhere to strict rules designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
After the final buzzer went off, the Lightning weren't just celebrating winning the team's second-ever Stanley Cup — it also meant the players could go home.
