Bettman discusses tracking technology, Olympics, more

ST. LOUIS -- Gary Bettman spoke to reporters ahead of Friday's 2020 NHL All-Star Game skills competition about the state of the NHL. He addressed a number of topics, from the NHL's plan to deal with allegations of coaching abuse, to CBA talks and the Olympics.

Here are the takeaways:

• The NHL is making progress on the player and puck tracking technologies. They were again used in the All-Star Game, and the technology will be in all playoff arenas this postseason. All NHL arenas will have the technology by next season.

“There will be more data than ever before,” Bettman said.
