Those two measures would actually go a long way towards preventing transmission. Along with thorough sanitization of team transports, equipment, locker rooms, and extra care around team meals.
You can be in close proximity to a carrier and not get infected. If an NHL player does contract it, they may not be able to play hockey for a while, but it's unlikely to put them in an ICU bed.
Teams could also stay on top of things with increased physical monitoring of players. It is impossible and impractical to officially test players every few days, but careful monitoring of other vital signs could help raise early caution flags for individuals.
