Lightning Round: NHL moving forward on plans to start the season

Late Monday night, word began to trickle out that actual progress was being made to get the Tampa Bay Lightning’s defense of the Stanley Cup (known in other cities as the 2021 NHL season) underway. TSN’s Darren Dreger reported via Twitter that there would be no financial changes to the Memorandum of Understanding that the NHL and NHLPA agreed to back in the summer. The players balked earlier this fall when the league floated the idea of making changes to the MOU in order to make the financial aspect more viable to the owners.
