It is Day 54 of the NHL Lockout, but Thursday's talks between owners and players brought some optimism. The players' association made two proposals, with responses from the league. They will meet again Friday for the fourth straight day at the bargaining table.

Still, we have seen little specific information on negotiations from either the players or the owners, so fans are still left wondering if a deal will be struck any time soon.

Until then, Ann Frazier brings us an infographic on the impact of the work stoppage, and where hockey players have hit the ice with no NHL games to play.
