Challenge Initiated By: NY Islanders
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Call on the ice is upheld – No Goal NY Islanders
Explanation: The play on the ice was challenged under Rule 38 – Coach’s Challenge. Rule 38.1 states, “In all Coach’s Challenge situations, the original call on the ice will be overturned if, and only if, a conclusive and irrefutable determination can be made on the basis of video evidence that the original call on the ice was clearly not correct. If a review is not conclusive and/or there is any doubt whatsoever as to whether the call on the ice was correct, the original call on the ice will be confirmed.”
Video review confirmed that Anthony Duclair impaired Juuse Saros’ ability to play his position prior to Tony DeAngelo’s shot entering the net. According to Rule 69.4, “If an attacking player initiates any contact with a goalkeeper, other than incidental contact, while the goalkeeper is outside his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.”
