The Buffalo Sabres thought they had their game Friday night against the New York Rangers tied up with 56.2 seconds left, but what looked like a good goal was called back following video replay because it was determined the Sabres entered the zone offside.
Buffalo came right back and kept the pressure on, hitting a post and having two shots blocked in the final 35 seconds, but couldn't find the back of the net again in what ended up being a 2-1 loss at KeyBank Center.
On the goal that was called back, the NHL's Situation Room ruled that Rasmus Dahlin entered the zone ahead of puck carrier Victor Olofsson.
So as Buffalo celebrated Olofsson's shot that went off defenseman Patrik Nemeth and past Alexandr Georgiev, the officials were gathering near the penalty box and receiving word from the NHL offices that the goal would not count.
Sabres play with passion until the end in loss to Rangers
