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.

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.

The NHL won't be changing its offside rule.

The oft-controversial regulation was on the agenda for the general managers meetings in Boca Raton, Fla., on Tuesday, but there wasn't enough support for tweaking it.

The current rule states that if a player's skate is in the air, but not over the blue line, the play is still offside. The definition, combined with coach's challenges, has created plenty of issues over the last few seasons, including during Game 1 of last year's Stanley Cup Final.

GMs will continue to gather in Florida until Wednesday.

The Buffalo Sabres' season is long gone, but Jack Eichel isn't ready to hang up his skates.

After he returned last week from a high ankle sprain that cost him 15 games, some wondered why Eichel would risk further injury with nothing on the line. The Sabres All-Star effectively put that narrative to rest.

"It's a bit frustrating for myself to get that question from people because it's a pretty simple answer, to be honest with you: I'm playing because I'm a hockey player," Eichel told John Vogl of The Buffalo News. "It's kind of ridiculous for somebody to think the fact that we're out of the playoffs and we don't have an opportunity to really do anything with our season that I would just pack my year in. It's not who I am as a person. It's not who I've ever been and not who I am as a hockey player."

"I think there should be a lot more questions asked if I decided I did want to pack it in and end my season because I had an ankle injury," he continued.

Despite missing a considerable chunk of the season, the 21-year-old leads the last-place Sabres with 54 points in 57 games.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba has been diagnosed with a concussion, head coach Paul Maurice told reporters Tuesday.

Trouba was forced from Sunday's contest after a hard collision with Dallas Stars' captain Jamie Benn in just his second appearance since returning from a lower-body injury that kept him out 20 games. There is no timeline for a recovery at this point.

When available this season, Trouba has logged nearly 22 minutes per contest, contributing three goals and 19 assists in 52 games.

Carey Price will be back in goal for the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday when they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins.

After revealing his starter was fully healthy and ready to play on Monday, head coach Claude Julien confirmed Price will start the club's next contest, marking his first appearance since suffering a concussion Feb. 20.

Price has yet to get on track this season, posting a 15-22-6 record with a .904 save percentage.

Toronto Maple Leafs netminder Frederik Andersen will start in goal for Tuesday's Atlantic Division clash versus the Tampa Bay Lightning, head coach Mike Babcock confirmed.

Andersen suffered an upper-body injury March 14 against the Dallas Stars, and subsequently missed the club's next two contests.

In 58 starts this season, the Dane owns a record of 33-18-5 with a .919 save percentage.

The Calgary Flames' playoff hopes are all but extinguished.

While not mathematically eliminated, Monday's loss to the Arizona Coyotes could very well be the final nail in the coffin for the Flames, who have now dropped four out of five and sit six points out of the wild-card picture with no games in hand.

Smith, along with defenseman Travis Hamonic, were brought to the Flames in the offseason to solidify the roster's most glaring holes. Smith, for his part, owns a sturdy .917 save percentage across 52 starts, but Calgary hasn't been able to put it together as a whole, particularly down the stretch.

"On paper, you look at our team and we should be a lot further ahead than we are," Smith told Wes Gilbertson of The Calgary Sun after Monday's game. "I think that's the frustrating part about this season and how it's gone is that we've underachieved by a lot."

Despite having a top-10 scorer in Johnny Gaudreau, a 30-goal season out of Sean Monahan, and one of the most reliable top pairings in hockey in Dougie Hamilton and Mark Giordano, the Flames own a goal differential of minus-18, and will have to spend yet another summer trying to identify the problem.
