With the Florida Panthers tied with the Boston Bruins 1-1, the Boston Bruins challenged the Panthers' go-ahead, and ultimately game-winning goal for goaltender interference.
The general public agreed that there was clear goaltender interference on the play, however the NHL disagreed:
Coach's Challenge: FLA @ BOS -
3:41 of the Third Period
Challenge Initiated By: Boston
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Original call is confirmed - Goal
Florida
Explanation:
Video review supported the Referees' call on the ice that that the shove by Florida's Sam Bennett on Charlie Coyle and the subsequent contact with Jeremy Swayman did not prevent Swayman from playing his position in the crease prior to bennett's goal.
Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game - Unsuccessful Challenge
