Type of Review: High-Sticking the Puck
Result: Call on the ice is upheld - No goal Florida

Explanation: After initially signaling a goal, the on-ice officials huddled and changed their call to "no goal." Video review supported the Referees' call on the ice that Sam Reinhart's stick was above the height of the crossbar when he directed the puck into the Capitals' net. According to Rule 78.5 (vi) that states in part "Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the Referee . . . When the puck has entered the net after making contact with an attacking player's stick that is above the height of the crossbar. Where the puck makes contact with the stick is the determining factor."
