There will be no last-ditch attempt to avoid another NHL lockout.
With just hours remaining on the collective bargaining agreement, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told several media outlets that he didn't expect any formal negotiations to take place before it expired at midnight on Saturday.
"We spoke again today, and in light of the fact that neither party has indicated an intention to move off of its last proposal, we have decided that there is no point in convening a formal bargaining session," he said. "We will keep in close contact in the coming days and if anything changes, I am sure we will be in touch."
