The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[5] The Flames advanced to the playoffs and defeated the Winnipeg Jets in the qualifying round in four games, but were defeated in the first round by the Dallas Stars in six games.[6]
