It's becoming routine, but was this goaltender interference?
Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers thought they had a big goal to cut the Calgary Flames' lead to 3-2.
Until Flames' head coach decided to challenge for goaltender interference. Here's the play that was challenged:
The play was called a goal on the ice, but after review, the referees deemed it was goaltender interference for Oilers' captain Connor McDavid's drive to the net. This is an instance where it could go either way. McDavid has the right to drive to the net to create a scoring opportunity, but he has to be careful of how far into the blue paint he gets. At the same time, Flames' goaltender Jacob Markstrom also makes first contact by trying to poke check the puck away from the onrushing McDavid.
