BOCA RATON, Fla. - NHL general managers have agreed to make only a few rule-change recommendations to the competition committee after reaching a consensus to alter overtime and faceoffs. Pending approval from that committee and the board of governors, teams will switch ends at the start of overtime to make for longer line changes. As expected, there was not enough support to add any three-on-three or extra time to overtime. Faceoffs could look much different, with GMs agreeing to try making centres who violate rules move 12-to-18 inches back instead of being kicked out of the circle. A second violation would remain a two-minute minor penalty. Another recommendation on faceoffs involves players on the outside of the circle being separated by roughly one metre instead of right next to each other. David Johnson Cardinals Jersey .

The chances are there but goals are not coming easy," noted Bruins head coach Claude Julien. The Panthers, meanwhile, begin a six-game homestand and have lost five of seven to begin the season. They were last in action on Tuesday, a 4-3 setback to Nashville. Jonathan Huberdeau, Marcel Goc and Matt Gilroy netted goals in the loss, while Jacob Markstrom surrendered all four goals on 30 shots.
