During a board of governors meeting Thursday, the NHL and its owners made no formal decision regarding participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Commissioner Gary Bettman did suggest that owners are starting to feel Olympic fatigue and that the discussion Thursday regarding sending NHL players to Pyeongchang, South Korea, wasn't positive.

"I think it's fair to say there is some strong negative sentiment in the room," Bettman said. "There was no formal vote. Just the discussion. No decision was made by the board."
