NHL approves realignment plan
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. NHL officials approved a radical realignment plan on Monday that will give the league four conferences instead of six divisions and guarantee home-and-home series among all teams.
NHLPA Executive Director Don Fehr announced, ``After discussions with the Executive Board, the NHLPA has given consent to realignment, to be re-evaluated following the 2014-15 season.''
