At 19:59 of the third period in the Predators/Panthers game, the Situation Room initiated a review under the terms of a Coach's Challenge to review whether Nashville's Viktor Arvidsson interfered with Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo prior to Filip Forsberg's goal.
The Situation Room determined the deliberate actions of Arvidsson's stick caused Luongo to spin and cause the covered puck to come loose prior to the goal.Rule 78.7 states in part: "The standard for overturning the call in the event of a "GOAL" call on the ice is that the NHL Situation Room (which shall include a former referee in the Officiating Department in the decision-making process), after reviewing any and all available replays and consulting with the Referee who made the original call, determines that the goal should have been disallowed due to "Interference on the Goalkeeper," as described in Rules 69.1, 69.3 and 69.4."
Rule 69.1 (2) states that goals should be disallowed if "an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal.
