BOCA RATON, Fla. -- NHL general managers discussed diving and embellishment, and protecting goaltenders in the crease on the opening day of their three-day meetings Monday.

The league is debating whether it should offer referees a list of players known to be frequent offenders for making dives or embellishing fouls.

Also of concern is how much contact or crease presence by skaters constitutes goalie interference. That topic is expected to be discussed more fully Tuesday.

Adding a 3-on-3 component to overtime, similar to what the American Hockey League is doing, is on the agenda, but it wasn't discussed Monday.
