Video Review: WSH @ NYR - Shootout

Good goal Washington

WSH@NYR: Ovechkin wins it in SO on Georgiev's miscue

By NHL.com @NHLdotcom

In the fourth round of the shootout in the Capitals/Rangers game, the on-ice officials huddled and came to a "no goal" decision following Alex Ovechkin's shootout attempt.

Per Rule 38.4 ("good hockey goals"), the Situation Room initiated a review of the play.
It was determined that Alexandar Georgiev threw his stick during Ovechkin's attempt. According to Rule 25.4,"A goal will be awarded when a goalkeeper attempts to stop a penalty shot by throwing his stick or any other object at the player taking the shot or by dislodging the goal (either deliberately or accidentally)."In the case of a shootout attempt, all rules for a penalty shot apply (per Rule 84.4).
Therefore, Washington was awarded a goal.
