National Hockey League teams are racing to prepare for the start of a lockout-shortened season that begins in five days.
NHL teams began training camps over the weekend after the league’s 700-player union ratified a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement, ending a 117-day lockout. After one week of training, NHL teams will play 48 games each -- an average of 3 1/2 games per week -- leading up to the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs on April 30.
