Challenge Initiated By:Situation Room

Type of Challenge: Off-Side
Result: Call on the ice is upheld - Goal Vancouver
Explanation: Video review confirmed Anthony Beauvillier had possession and control of the puck as he entered the attacking zone prior to Andrei Kuzmenko's goal. Rule 83.1 states in part, "a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered 'off-side,' provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the leading edge of the blue line."
NOTE: In the final minute of play in the third period and at any point in overtime (regular season and playoffs), Hockey Operations will initiate the review of any scenario that would otherwise be subject to a Coach's Challenge.
