Report: NHL telling officials to drop puck immediately after reviews

The NHL won't soon be tweaking what gets reviewed, but it is reportedly looking at speeding up the process.

Officials are being instructed by the league to drop the puck immediately after announcing their decision, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

They're apparently being told not to go to the benches after revealing the verdict to explain the rationale to the coaches, Friedman adds.

The NHL's general managers decided Wednesday not to change the criteria for offside video reviews or the coach's challenge that precedes them.
