Quebec has given the NHL the green light to start its season in the province, joining Alberta and British Columbia in allowing teams to once again dust off their skates. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Quebec Health Ministry confirmed that it had accepted the recommendations put forward by the five provinces with NHL teams and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The Habs will play teams out west nine times, and face off against Ottawa and Toronto 10 times. "Normally in a regular season we probably go out west once a year," Julien said. "So we're going to have to also adapt and then be ready to face that kind of travel."
