If a team challenges a play and its challenge is unsuccessful, they'll receive a two-minute minor penalty for delay of game. They won’t be able to rescind the penalty. These blown calls overshadowed the Stanley Cup playoffs, to the point where officials that were involved in the Game 7 call weren't allowed to work the next round and the NHL actually apologized to the Golden Knights.And the last thing Gary Bettman wants is to have more discussion about officiating failures than the pageantry of the postseason.

The NHL may introduce both 3-on-3 play during overtime and the availability of a coach's challenge as early as next season. Officials will be able to look at a monitor and either confirm the call or reduce it to a minor penalty. Perhaps to cover scoring attempts by bad players, too.
