Type of Review: High-Sticking the Puck
Result: Call on the ice is upheld – No goal Tampa Bay
Explanation: Video review supported the Referees’ call on the ice that Nick Paul’s stick was above the height of the crossbar when he contacted the puck. It then deflected off Darnell Nurse before it entered the Edmonton net. According to Rule 80.3, that states in part “When an attacking player causes the puck to enter the opponent’s goal by contacting the puck above the height of the crossbar, either directly or deflected off any player or official, the goal shall not be allowed. The determining factor is where the puck makes contact with the stick.”
