Some of the rule changes that will take effect for the 2005-06 NHL season:

 

- Allowing the two-line pass (no red line) like international hockey;

 

- Reduction in size of goalie equipment;

 

- Using the AHL crease and limits on goaltender puck handling;

 

- No tie games; using a penalty shootout after overtime;  After a five minute overtime, three players will be selected from each team for the shootout.  If still tied, it will then be a sudden death shootout;

 

- No-touch icing;

 

- Bringing back tag-up offside;

 

- Move nets back two feet towards end boards;

 

- Reducing the size of the neutral zone;

 

- A team that ices the puck cannot make a line change prior to the ensuing face-off;

 

- Officials will have the discretion to wave off icing if it is deemed to be the result of an attempted pass;

 

- A player that instigates a fight in the final five minutes of a game will receive a game misconduct and automatic one-game suspension;

 

- Zero tolerance on interference, hooking and holding/obstruction

 

- Delay of game penalties for any players shooting the puck over the glass in his defensive zone.
