When the Anaheim Ducks scored to pull even at 3-3 in the third period, it was their second goal in 1:25 and not too long after the Oilers had scored two in 1:40 to take a two-goal lead at 3-1.
With the game potentially spiralling out of control and the home team gaining a ton of momentum, the Oilers called a goaltender interference challenge on the third Anaheim goal. It did wonders to help the team settle down and ultimately pull out the win but Oilers head coach Todd McLellan did say that the reason for calling the challenge was that he felt he could get the goal overruled.
