The NHL and NHLPA have agreed to expedite a playoff salary cap and changes to long-term injured reserve rules for the 2025-26 season, multiple NHL sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
The playoff salary cap rule is one of several changes in the league\'s new Collective Bargaining Agreement that will be fast-tracked for this season. The current CBA ends on Sept. 15, 2026. The new agreement, which the NHL and NHLPA announced in July, has a four-year term.
