Challenge Initiated By: Situation Room
Type of Challenge: Missed Game Stoppage Event – High-Sticking the Puck
Result: Original call confirmed – Goal Washington
Explanation: The Situation Room supported the Referee’s call on the ice that Tom Wilson’s stick was at or below the normal height of his shoulders when he contacted the puck at 3:57 of overtime (1:13 elapsed time) prior to Dylan Strome’s goal at 3:19 (1:41 elapsed time). The decision was made in accordance with Rule 80.1.
