Type of Review: Net Off – Awarded Goal
Result: Goal NY Rangers
Explanation: Video Review determined that the actions of Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson caused the net to be displaced from its moorings prior to the puck crossing the goal line. Therefore, the Referees awarded Rangers forward Artemi Panarin a goal according to Rule 63.7: “In the event that the goal post is displaced, either deliberately or accidentally, by a defending player, prior to the puck crossing the goal line between the normal position of the goalposts, the Referee may award a goal. In order to award a goal in this situation, the goal post must have been displaced by the actions of a defending player, the attacking player must have an imminent scoring opportunity prior to the goal post being displaced, and it must be determined that the puck would have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts.”
