Challenge Initiated By: NY Islanders
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Call on the ice is upheld – Goal Winnipeg
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.”
The Situation Room supported the Referees’ call on the ice that Winnipeg’s Nino Niederreiter did not affect Ilya Sorokin’s ability to play his position prior to Dylan DeMelo’s goal.
Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game – Unsuccessful Challenge
