The technology will be even more valuable in the playoffs when goals are scarcer and the offside and goaltender interference challenges can decide a game — or a series. This season, coaches have been able to use video monitors on the bench to help them decide when to challenge offside and goaltender interference situations. Three iPad Pros will be available for coaches on every bench and officials will also have them to review coach’s challenges, The Associated Press has learned. All 16 playoff arenas have been outfitted with the iPads and also Macs for video coaches as part of a collaboration with Apple. NHL coaches will have more technology on the bench than ever before as the Stanley Cup playoffs begin.
