NHL, NHL Players’ Association set to get back to the bargaining table

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The NHL and NHL Players’ Association are set to get back to the bargaining table.

A large group is expected when the sides resume negotiations later Monday.

A handful of owners, general managers and players are scheduled to join the key negotiators for the session.

The sides will be meeting for the first time since Nov. 11, when talks broke off after the fifth formal session in six days.

Last week, commissioner Gary Bettman floated the possibility of suspending negotiations for two weeks to Donald Fehr, but that didn’t appeal to the NHLPA executive director.

The lockout has forced the cancellation of all regular-season games through Nov. 30. More games are expected to come off the schedule this week.
