NHL wants to give situation room final call on goalie interference
Changes could be on the horizon in the NHL, as the league wants to give the situation room final say on goaltender interference challenges.
Senior executive director of hockey operations Colin Campbell made the announcement Tuesday at the general managers meetings in Boca Raton, Fla., according to David Amber of Hockey Night in Canada. Campbell added that the league has reached out to the NHLPA for approval, and it's already being reviewed by the players' union.
NHLPA indicates is it actively reviewing the matter with the players. Still awaiting more information, including who will make final decision, but process is underway

As it currently stands, decisions on goaltender interference challenges are left up to the referees, a process that's drawn criticism for its inconsistent results throughout the season.
