Type of Review: High-Sticking the Puck Result: Original call is upheld - Goal Los Angeles
Explanation: Video review supported the Referee's call on the ice that Ilya Kovalchuk's stick was at or below the height of the crossbar when he deflected the puck into the Calgary net. According to Rule 38.4 (vi) "The determining factor is where the puck makes contact with the stick in relation to the crossbar. If the puck makes contact with the portion of the stick that is at or below the level of the crossbar and enters the goal, this goal shall be allowed."
