Video Review: NYR @ NYI - 14:07 of the Second Period
No goal Islanders
Situation Room: Nelson plays puck above crossbar
ByNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Type of Review: High-Sticking the Puck
Result: Call on the ice is upheld - No goal New York Islanders Explanation:
After initially signaling a goal, the on-ice officials huddled and changed their call to "no goal". Video review supported the Referees' call on the ice that Brock Nelson's stick was above the height of the crossbar when he directed the puck into the New York Rangers' net. According to Rule 78.5 (vi) that states in part "Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the Referee . . . when the puck has entered the net after making contact with an attacking player's stick that is above the height of the crossbar. Where the puck makes contact with the stick is the determining factor."
