The NHL and NHLPA are discussing the use of two hub cities to each feature 12 teams for a potential resumption of the 2019-20 season, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

Previous discussions included proposals of four hub destinations, though it's not clear which locations the NHL is leaning toward using. Several cities, including Toronto, Vancouver, and Edmonton, previously expressed interest in hosting.

It was reported Sunday that the league and players' union are making progress toward a 24-team playoff format, though there's still work to be done before anything is finalized.

The NHL's Board of Governors is set for a conference call Monday afternoon to continue discussions on a return to play.
