At around 8pm tonight, Bob McKenzie dropped the bomb:
Pending B of G approval, NHL will go to 3-on-3 overtime for 5 minutes in regular season games next season.

For those asking, no 4-on-4 OT at all. Right to 3-on-3. 5 minutes sudden death. No goal, it goes to shootout.

NHLPA was adamantly opposed to AHL-tested model (4 mins of 4 on 4 and 3 mins of 3 on 3) so NHL choice was no change at all or 3 on 3 for 5.
