Challenge Initiated By: Vancouver

Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference

Result: Call on the ice is overturned – No Goal San Jose

Explanation: Video review determined San Jose’s Fabian Zetterlund impaired Thatcher Demko’s ability to play his position in the crease prior to William Eklund’s goal. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 69.1 which states, in part, “Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal.”
