Challenge Initiated By: San Jose
Type of Challenge: Off-Side
Result: Call on the ice is overturned – No Goal Pittsburgh
Explanation: Video review determined that Pittsburgh’s Michael Bunting preceded the puck into the offensive zone and was in an off-side position prior to Evgeni Malkin’s goal. According to Rule 38.9, “The standard for overturning the call in the event of a “GOAL” call on the ice is that the NHL Situation Room, after reviewing any and all available replays and consulting with the On-Ice Official(s), determines that one or more Players on the attacking team preceded the puck into the attacking zone prior to the goal being scored and that, as a result, the play should have been stopped for an “Off-Side” infraction; where this standard is met, the goal will be disallowed.”
The clock is reset to show 14:18 (5:42 elapsed time), when the off-side infraction occurred.
