Jets fans must adjust to rule changes

Hockey fans will need to be prepared for rule changes for the 2015-16 NHL season, two of them significant.

The league has voted to introduce three-on-three overtime, which was seen multiple times in the pre-season, as well as an option for a coach’s challenge to certain calls on goals.

The NHL has also revised its faceoff procedures.

Overtime: The three-on-three play for five minutes (or less) of overtime is designed to reduce the number of games going to a shootout.

It did exactly that in the full-season experiment conducted by the AHL last season.
