This news was just broken by Bob McKenzie:

> It’s my understanding one NHL club has had to temporarily close its training facilities during Phase Two because multiple players and some staff have tested positive for Covid-19.

> I believe it’s three players and two staff who tested positive. Remaining players and staff are being tested. If no further positive tests, expectation is training facility will re-open, Phase Two will continue. If there are further positive tests, well, we will see what happens.

Yesterday, McKenzie reported that the NHL is about to use a new reporting method for positive tests where they will give a total figure, but will not reveal what teams or players are involved.
