Preds look to excel in NHL's upcoming 3-on-3 overtime

When the 2015-16 NHL regular season begins in just a few months, Nashville Predators Head Coach Peter Laviolette, as well as the 29 other bench bosses around the League, will have some decisions to make.

There will be rosters to fill out, systems to implement and a slew of other elements to instill prior to the first puck drop in October. But when a game remains tied after 60 minutes of regulation, those coaches will then have to deal with something they've never dealt with at the NHL level before – a 3-on-3 overtime period.
