Challenge Initiated By: San Jose
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Call on the ice is overturned – No Goal Pittsburgh
Explanation: Video review determined Pittsburgh’s Anthony Beauvillier had a significant presence in the crease and made incidental contact with goaltender Yaroslav Askarov that impaired his ability to play his position prior to the goal. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 69.1, which states in part, “Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal.”
