Penguins vote in favor of 24-team format

The NHLPA's executive board, made up of representatives from each of the league's 31 teams, held a vote on the NHL's proposed 24-team playoff plan.

The full results of the vote are not yet known, but the Penguins' representative Kris Letang told Elliotte Friedman on Friday that he voted in favor of the proposed format.

“At the end of the day, nobody gets exactly what they want," Letang told Friedman. "But, we all want what is best for hockey and to continue to grow the game.”

Letang also said that the safety of everyone involved remains the most important factor of any plan.
