BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — The NHL general managers wrapped up three days of meetings on Wednesday with talk of making changes to the faceoff.
The faceoff proposal has the defenseman putting his stick down first. The change includes the neutral zone, except for the center ice dot where the visiting team will continue to put their stick down first.
The GMs agreed Tuesday to recommend some type of three-on-three beginning next season. But they are still debating whether to add time to the extra session or begin overtime three-on-three instead of four-on-four.
The joint NHL/NHLPA competition committee also will consider instituting a coach's challenge system for goaltender interference.
The committee meets in June in Las Vegas and must approve any rule changes.
