NEW YORK (AP) – NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says the league is prepared to lock out its players if a new collective bargaining agreement is not reached by Sept. 15, when the current deal expires.

NHLPA executive director Don Fehr (feer) has maintained the two sides can continue discussions beyond Sept. 15, and there is no need for the league to lock out its players.
