Looks like the league is putting the puck/player tracking into play:
After a couple of games with testing, player/puck tracking will be in use — beginning with tonight’s DAL/LV matchup. Won’t be used during live action, more in replays and in the score bug. Looking forward to seeing it during meaningful action.
