Training camp is underway as the Winnipeg Jets prepare for this most unique NHL season, which is bypassing exhibition games in the mad dash to a start date of Jan. 13. For some teams, it will be their first action since the 2019-20 regular season was brought to a screeching halt last March. On the other extreme is the Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars, who were still playing at the end of September in the Stanley Cup Final. Such irregularities are the roots of a wild NHL season, exacerbated by a shortened schedule of 56 games, less than two-thirds of a normal season.
