NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says it's "regrettable" that the league suspended Henry Samueli as owner of the Ducks.
Samueli pleaded guilty last year to lying to investigators in a stock option backdating probe.
Bettman said in a statement Friday that it was unfortunate that Samueli had to endure the suspension as owner of the Ducks.
The suspension was lifted Nov. 12, before Samueli's plea was vacated.
