Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will meet with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Friday in New York to discuss his involvement in the Chicago Blackhawks' mishandling of an alleged sexual assault in 2010, the team confirmed to TSN's Darren Dreger.
The meeting was originally supposed to take place Monday, but Cheveldayoff requested it be moved up.
An independent investigation found that Cheveldayoff - who was an assistant GM with the Blackhawks at the time - took part in a May 2010 meeting in which team executives were informed that former video coach Brad Aldrich had behaved in a sexually inappropriate way toward a player, later revealed to be Kyle Beach.
However, per the investigation, the franchise didn't act on that information until reporting it to human resources three weeks later, days after the team won the Stanley Cup.
Florida Panthers head coach Joel Quenneville - who was also deemed to be part of the meeting - met with Bettman on Thursday afternoon. Panthers GM Bill Zito and team president Matt Caldwell were also in attendance, according to ESPN's Emily Kaplan.
The Panthers announced Thursday evening that Quenneville resigned.
Cheveldayoff has been the Jets' GM since 2011 when he left the Blackhawks after two seasons with the club.
