The NHL moved one step closer to possibly expanding video replay Wednesday.
Commissioner Gary Bettman declined to discuss specifics, but the league’s Board of Governors approved proposals to change video reviews and other rules during a meeting in Las Vegas at Encore. Modifications to the review policy are expected to be addressed Thursday when NHL general managers meet in Vancouver ahead of the draft.
Bettman was optimistic changes would be made after the board discussed various possibilities to revamping replay following a postseason in which the league’s officiating came under fire for several missed and controversial non-reviewable calls.
