Boston Bruins affected by potential new rule change by the NHL
The Boston bruins are now at the center of the hockey world as their star goalie Jeremey Swayman has yet to sign and join the team for training camp and preseason. But now, the NHL could be implementing some rules changes for this upcoming season.
The NHL is considering to make some big rule changes for 2024-2025, but due to the details of them, the had to be passed by the NHL Board of Governors before anything can be put in place. We had not gotten many updates, but that has all changed now.
The changes will be put into affect in on October 8th when the regular season commences where our Boston Bruins will take on the reigning Stanley Cup Champions, the Florida Panthers.
The main thing that it will be changed regards the hated coaches challenge.
"The defensive team cannot make a line change in the event a defensive player, including the goaltender, accidentally displaces the net," the NHL video explains. "Previously, the no line change rule only applied to a defensive skater and not the goaltender accidentally displacing the net."
These changes from out perspective make a lot of sense, it gives the opponents new line of defensemen to play, while the team with possession has continued to ice the same unit.
