The NHL made the official announcement Monday afternoon more games will be taken off the schedule, through December 30th. There had already been 422 regular-season games lost because of the ongoing lockout, and the latest cuts will claim 104 more.
The cancellation of just 16 more days of the season could perhaps signal there is hope of a deal to begin play in early January. Negotiations between the league and the players' association broke off last week, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said on Sunday that the sides are trying to restart talks this week.
