Explanation:Video review confirmed that Christian Dvorak's stick was at or below the height of the crossbar when he directed the puck into the Blues net. According to Rule 37.5,"If the puck makes contact with a portion of the stick that is at or below the level of the crossbar (despite some other portion of the stick being above the crossbar) and enters the goal, the goal shall be allowed."
NOTE:The Referee mistakenly announced St. Louis had initiated a Coach's Challenge to examine the high-sticking play. However, high-sticking the puck into the net is not a challengeable play as per Rule 38.2, which states in part,"A team may only request a Coach's Challenge to review the following scenarios: (a) "Off-Side" Play Leading to a Goal . . . (b) Missed Game Stoppage Event in the Offensive Zone Leading to a Goal . . . (c) Scoring Plays Involving Potential "Interference on the Goalkeeper."
