Network introduces change

The Fox network, whose All-Star telecast Saturday begins the second year of its five-year, $155 million deal with the NHL, has been experimenting with a chip that’s embedded in pucks and illuminates them for easier viewing. The chip also measures the puck’s speed for display on your TV screen, without changing the puck’s size, color or shape. Fans at games will see no difference.

Gretzky’s future in question

Wayne Gretzky’s agent, Michael Barnett, will meet with the owners of the Los Angeles Kings today in Los Angeles. They will discuss Gretzky’s short- and long-term future with the team, including the possibility of a trade before the playoffs this spring to a team that is in contention to win the Stanley Cup.
