NHL, NHLPA meet for fourth straight day

New York, NY – The NHL and NHLPA met for a fourth straight day on Friday as the two sides are still working to end a lockout that has lasted almost two months.

Both sides had little to say after Friday's meeting.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league is waiting to hear back from the players on when they can meet again.

NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr left without answering questions, but said the union "had things to consider."

Regular season games have been canceled through Nov. 30, along with the Winter Classic contest that was supposed to be held on New Year's Day in Ann Arbor between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings.

The two sides have been without a CBA since the previous one expired just before midnight on Sept. 15.
