The 2023-24 NHL Rulebook doesn't have any major changes from the 2022-23 edition, but here are two notable tweaks that made it into the official rule book this year, as first reported by Scouting the Refs.
If your team was hurt by a missed puck-in-the netting call prior to last season, we have good news— unless you dislike coach's challenges, in which case, get ready for more pauses in play.
A coach's ability to challenge a puck-in-the netting call now officially extends to any puck put above the glass before scoring a goal, no matter which team made the last play.
That rule was already in effect, as Colorado Avalanche fans will remember from four years ago, when the rule was applied on a coach's challenge.
In Game 7 of the 2019 second round, the San Jose Sharks successfully challenged a goal for being offsides because Gabriel Landeskog was still on the ice on the other side of the blue line as he prepared to enter the bench following a line change.
Hockey player Adam Johnson, a Minnesota native who had brief stints with the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, died after a “freak accident” during a game in the United Kingdom over the weekend, his team said.
Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers, which is in the Elite Ice Hockey League, against the Sheffield Steelers on Saturday night at Utilita Arena Sheffield when his neck was cut by a skate blade, the Associated Press reported.
In the days following his death, tributes for the American ice hockey player have poured in, including a heartbreaking social media post from his girlfriend, who was reportedly in attendance when Johnson was fatally wounded.
Johnson, 29, was playing in a Challenge Cup game between the Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena on Saturday when another player from the opposing team appeared to collide with him.
The Nottingham Panthers are truly devastated to announce that Adam Johnson has tragically passed away following a freak accident at the game in Sheffield last night," the Panthers said in a statement Sunday morning.
The Panthers would like to send our thoughts and condolences to Adam’s family, his partner, and all his friends at this extremely difficult time. Everyone at the club, including players, staff, management and ownership, are heartbroken at the news of Adam’s passing.
Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers in a Challenge Cup game against the Sheffield Steelers when he suffered the skate cut during the second period of the Elite Ice Hockey League game at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena.
A Minnesota native, Johnson spent 13 games over parts of the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons playing for Pittsburgh in the NHL before spending the 2020-21 season in Sweden with the Malmo Redhawks. He had a goal and three assists for the Penguins.
