Details are still coming out, but it looks like the NHL lockout is over.
After more than 16 consecutive hours of bargaining on the 113th day of the lockout, the NHL and NHLPA reached a tentative agreement on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement around 5 a.m. Sunday.
What does this mean?
The deal still has to be ratified by the players and the NHL Board of Governors, but the bottom line is we're looking at a season of about 48-50 games, beginning later this month.
