kinot-1 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 This year the NHL has decided that every team will get to experience 3 on 3 hockey for the first time in hockey history. I got to see some 3 on 3 hockey in the Habs-Pitts game in London last Fri. in the Habs OT loss, and I must say that, IMO, it is exciting. However, I do see a problem with it. During the "regular 5 on 5 game" you cannot have less that 3 players on the ice at any time. So what happens if one of those players in the 3 on 3, gets a penalty? Do they still get the penalty? Anyway,,, here's the full article: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/nhl-overtime-preseason-game-1.3230809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinot-1 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 3-on-3 overtime to be tested in preseason games. The National Hockey League has designated certain games on its upcoming 2015 preseason schedule in which the participating teams will test and practice the new ‘3-on-3’ overtime format. This is done in order to ensure that players, coaches and officials have at least a minimum of exposure to the new overtime format, and that they have a chance to practice the new format before the beginning of the regular season. Here is a list of the 3 preseason games the Canadiens will play that will feature a five-minute, sudden-death, 3-on-3 overtime period – regardless of the score at the end of regulation time: TUESDAY, SEPT. 22Toronto at Montreal, 7:30 PM SATURDAY, SEPT. 26Montreal at Toronto, 7:30 PM SATURDAY, OCT. 3Montreal at Ottawa, 7:00 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
