Lou Lamoriello believes changes to the NHL's goaltender interference protocol are both warranted and imminent.

"There should be change and there will be," the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager told TSN's Frank Seravalli at the GM meetings in Boca Raton, Fla., on Monday. "It’s just making sure it’s the right thing. I think we also have to be very careful and dwell on (whether) something is majorly wrong. We had several isolated incidents that were flagrant and they overshadow everything else."

Goalie interference was the focus of the first day of the spring GM meetings, which will run through Wednesday.

Several suggestions were made in an effort to ensure more consistency on calls involving contact with goaltenders, including putting an official in the league's Situation Room and giving that room the final say.

Some form of change is likely coming, as TSN's Darren Dreger reported earlier Monday.
