The NHL is a step closer to eliminating the type of hits to the head that resulted in Boston Bruins center Marc Savard being taken off on a stretcher last Sunday.
According to the USA Today, the general managers are going to recommend stricter rules against head shots with an emphasis on supplemental discipline and repeat defenders.
"We will be redefining it and fine-tuning it (Wednesday), but clearly the blindside and the unsuspecting players is what we are targeting," Dallas general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said.
