From his stomach, Kakko sent a pa s in front of the net, where Chytil planted the go-ahead goal.Kakko drives the net and the goal was waived off due to goalie interference. Did the refs get it right? That's Hockey Talk (@ThatsHockeyTalk) After a review, the goal was taken off the board, and the game would Nick Vigil Jersey go into overtime (and then another, and then another).MORE:The NHL situation room in Toronto explained why the call on the ice was overturned:Video review determined New York's Randy Bullock Jersey Kaapo Kakko impaired Casey DeSmith's ability to play his position in the crease prior to Filip Chytil's goal.

I can't argue with that," he said.DeSmith would later exit the game with an apparent injury, leading to Louis Domingue Russell Bodine Jersey finishing out the win with 17 saves of his own.
