A controversial goal by the Avalanche led to another costly defeat on Thursday night.
Senators head coach D.J. Smith challenged the play, claiming goalie interference, but the National Hockey League didn’t overturn the goal and the Senators lost an important two points because of it.“It’s one of the weirdest goals this year. We all believe, and know, isn’t at fault,” Tkachuk said. “I feel terrible for him. He’s been so key and he’s been put in such a s—-y situation, having both goalies go down.
A look at the replay sure made it look as if Sogaard had the puck covered. TV cameras flashed to the box of Senators general manager Pierre Dorion and he shook his head after the goal by Eller was confirmed.“No whistle, and I think everyone kind of stopped playing for a second, except Lars,” Bednar said. “He’s a smart player. He didn’t hear a whistle, so he just kind of hung around there for a split second and there was a puck available.
Injuries to Cam Talbot and Anton Forsberg have put Sogaard and backup Kevin Mandolese in a difficult position. The Senators are trying to battle for the final wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference and these are pressure-filled games.
