Type of Review: Distinct Kicking Motion
Result: Goal Detroit

Explanation: Video review supported the Referee's call on the ice that there was no distinct kicking motion prior to Alex Chiasson's goal. Rule 37.4 states, in part,"a puck that deflects into the net off an attacking Player's skate who does not use a 'distinct kicking motion' shall be ruled a GOAL. A puck that is directed into the net by an attacking Players' skate shall also be ruled a GOAL, as long as no 'distinct kicking motion' is evident."
