Over at Sportsnet, our pal Elliotte Friedman provided an update about some new proposed NHL rules (which are reportedly close to being official) regarding CBA exemptions to help clubs navigate the surge of the omnicron COVID variant.
Here are the highlights!
GOALTENDERS: Teams will be allowed to add an additional goalie when two regulars are not available. This is in place for the rest of the season.
EMERGENCY CAP EXEMPTION: From here on in, teams in danger of dressing fewer than two goalies, six defencemen or 12 forwards for a game will be able to make emergency recalls.
