Via ECAC website NCAA article on NHL experimenting on rule changes. Particular mention of the new Icing rule.

Something I realized the other day while discussing the new rule changes. Recall the debate we had when BU pulled their goalie when they were up 5v3 vs. Cornell. One of the major risks is that, without icing, the defense has open reign to shoot at the open net. If icing also applies to penalty kills, suddenly pulling a goalie on a power play is much less risky.
