What Happened
The Calgary Flames were leading the Vancouver Canucks 1-0 on a Matt Coronato power-play goal when a Liam Ohgren redirect 90 seconds into the third period was initially waved off by on-ice officials. The NHL situation room reviewed the play and ruled it a goal, finding the puck moving in Calgary goaltender Devin Cooley's glove while it was across the goal line. According to Sportsnet, situation room official Rod Pasma said the call might have been inconclusive if Cooley's glove webbing had been black rather than white. Calgary went on to squander its lead.
