Commissioner Gary Bettman said Monday that there is no timetable for the NHL to decide on pending expansion applications from Las Vegas and Quebec City.

Bettman spoke after the league's executive committee reviewed presentations from the two cities in a three-hour meeting and then presented that information to the Board of Governors at the annual December meeting.

"The board will meet to vote when we decide there's something to be put to a vote," Bettman said. "That will really be after the executive committee begins and finishes deliberations and are prepared to make a recommendation."
