Challenge Initiated By: Arizona
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Call on the ice is upheld – Goal Minnesota
Explanation: Video review supported the Referee’s call on the ice that the actions of Arizona’s Patrik Koch prevented Karel Vejmelka from playing his position in the crease prior to Zach Bogosian’s goal. The decision was made in accordance with Note 2 of Rule 38.11 (ii) which states, in part, that the goal should be allowed because “the attacking Player was pushed, shoved or fouled by the defending Player causing the attacking Player to come into contact with the goalkeeper.”
Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game – Unsuccessful Challenge
