Jets fans won't be happy, but here's why the NHL says Brayden Schenn's game-tying goal was a good one.
Sundqvist was charging hard towards the net along the left side and managed to slide a pass towards Schenn, who was streaking in from the right and made good on the chance as Sundqvist crashed hard into Winnipeg’s net.
Immediately after the Blues started to celebrate, the call on the ice was determined to be “no goal.” Afterwards, however, the officials made the decision to take another look at the play and it was determined, after review, the goal was good, much to the chagrin to the Jets and the sold-out Bell MTS Place crowd.sent out Thursday night, the league explained the Situation Room’s decision to make Schenn’s goal count.
“The Situation Room informed the Referees that the puck entered the Winnipeg net between the normal position of the goal posts. The Referee then awarded the goal to St. Louis because of the actions of Dustin Byfuglien caused the Winnipeg net to become displaced as Brayden Schenn was in the act of shooting the puck into the Winnipeg net. The decision was made in relation to Rule 63.
A momemuntum-shifting decision by the NHL’s Situation Room set the stage for Jaden Schwarz’s stunning winner with 15 seconds remaining in the game. Losing a key playoff game, in part, because of a rule technicality hurts if you’re the Jets or a Jets fan, but in the end the right call does appear to have been made.
