NEW YORK, NY — The NHL Players’ Association has requested reintroducing U.S. federal mediators to collective bargaining talks with the NHL.
The sides spent two unsuccessful days with mediators last week.
The league has yet to respond to the request but it is still expected to meet with the NHLPA later Thursday.
It appears the dynamic will change, with commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr expected to rejoin negotiations.
They excused themselves from talks on Tuesday and Wednesday in an effort to spur progress.
The sides have moved closer with their proposals in recent days, but hurdles remain in negotiations.
