Challenge Initiated By: NY Islanders
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Call on the ice is overturned – No goal Washington
Explanation: Video review determined Washington’s Hendrix Lapierre had a significant presence in the crease and impaired Semyon Varlamov’s ability to play his position prior to the puck entering the New York net. According to Rule 69.3, “If an attacking player establishes a significant position within the goal crease, so as to obstruct the goalkeeper’s vision and impair his ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.”
