Rule changes
editNew rule changes include:[12][13]
- For this season, a team receiving a penalty shot had to use the player fouled to perform the shot. Previously, the team could choose any player to take the shot.
- A player on the ice must be within 1.5 metres of the bench before his replacement could step on the ice.
- A player losing his helmet during play must leave the ice immediately.
- When a team with a player already in the penalty box has adelayed penaltyand the opposing team scores, the player already in the box will exit and the player with the delayed penalty will serve his penalty. Previously, the goal would negate the delayed penalty.
- A goal scored with the shaft of thestickwould stand, even were the stick blade above the crossbar.
- The number of non-players allowed in the bench area was increased from six to eight.
- For the first time since the2004–2005 season,the 2010–2011 season re-introducedshootoutin regulation games. Games tied after the first 60 minutes went to a 5-minute overtime period, and to a shootout if no goals were scored in the overtime. If the teams scored equally with three penalty shots, a sudden-death shootout would result: if the first team scored, the second team would lose unless it could score in its next shot. The player who gave his team the winning lead in the shootout was awarded a goal point in the protocol. The first game to go into a shootout was in round 3, aTimrå IKvictory overLuleå HF.
