The NHL and the players' association will meet in New York City on Wednesday, as the two sides try to get a deal done before Saturday's midnight deadline.
The two sides, represented by NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, his top assistant and brother, Steve Fehr, as well as NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly, will meet ahead of a scheduled NHLPA meeting at 5:30pm et/2:30pm pt where more than 250 players are expected to attend.
The board of governors will meet Thursday at the NHL offices and could authorize Bettman to proceed with a lockout on Saturday if a new collective bargaining agreement hasn't been reached.
The expiring deal has been in place since 2005 following the previous lockout that forced the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season and playoffs.
The preseason schedule is set to begin on Sept. 19, and the regular season is supposed to start on Oct. 11.
