Challenge Initiated By: Boston
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Call on the ice is upheld – Goal Detroit
Explanation: After video review, it was determined that the actions of Brandon Carlo contributed to Detroit’s Michael Rasmussen’s stick making contact with Jeremy Swayman’s glove outside the crease and therefore, did not constitute goaltender interference. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 69.1 which states, in part, that the goal should be allowed because “Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease…”
Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game – Unsuccessful Challenge
