Challenge Initiated By: Montreal
Type of Challenge: Missed Game Stoppage Event – High-Sticking the Puck
Result: Original call overturned – No Goal Nashville
Explanation: The Situation Room determined that Nashville’s Michael McCarron played the puck with a high stick with 3:02 on the clock (16:58 elapsed time) prior to his goal. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 80.1, which states, in part, that *“Batting the puck above the normal height of the shoulders with a stick is prohibited. When a puck is struck with a high stick and subsequently comes into the possession and control of a player from the offending team (including the player who made contact with the puck), either directly or deflected off any player or official, there shall be a whistle.”
Therefore, the clock is reset to show 3:02 (16:58 elapsed time) and no goal Nashville.*
