During a National Hockey League game, the New York Rangers successfully challenged a goal for goaltender interference, maintaining their 2-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The disputed play involved a tangle in the crease, which the Rangers argued impeded goaltender Igor Shesterkin's ability to make a save. Prior to the challenge, Mikey Eyssimont had scored on a wraparound, temporarily making the score 2-1. Following the challenge, the Lightning were awarded a power play due to a delayed hooking penalty on Mika Zibanejad. However, the Rangers' penalty kill unit effectively negated the advantage, returning the game to full strength with the Lightning still trailing. The first period concluded with the Rangers ahead, having scored goals by Panarin and Trocheck, while leading in high-danger chances 4-1 despite the Lightning having more shots on goal, 14-9 TBL.
#NYR lead, 2-0 after one. (Panarin, 21, and Trocheck, 9). TBL had one taken off the board on a successful Rangers challenge, for goalie interference. SOG are 14-9, TBL, but per @NatStatTrick, high-danger chances are 4-1, Rangers. TBL is 0-for-1 on PP. No PPs for Rangers yet.
#GoBolts trail 2-0 after one period. They lead in shot on goal 13-9, but trail in high-danger scoring chances 4-0.
Scoreless after one. https://t.co/lUDOjbFuz9
Rangers penalty kill is very aggressive and willing to block shots. They kill the Zibanejad penalty and it's back to 5-on-5 with 3:04 left in the first and the #Bolts in a 2-0 hole.
But they call Mika for hooking? TBL gets a power play. https://t.co/59hFJgXdJm
Zibanejad is called for hooking on the play, so #GoBolts get a power play.
the goal is taken off the board due to goaltender interference now, after a call on the Rangers, the #Bolts will have the first power play of the game 2-0 New York Rangers
Goal gets overturned. Rangers keep the 2-0 lead, but the #Bolts will go to the power play as Zibanejad had a delayed hooking penalty on the play.
Win the challenge, get charged a penalty ONLY the Rangers lol #NYR
THEY WON A CHALLENGE!!!! #NYR
Upon video review, there was goalie interference. No goal. #NYR back to leading 2-0. https://t.co/aX7zgDnOYZ
No goal. Ruling is goaltender interference after #NYR challenge. #GoBolts still trail 2-0 with 5:05 remaining in the first.
#NYR win the challenge, goal is wiped off the scoreboard. https://t.co/gfiMbwswQX
Looks like #NYR are going to challenge for goaltender interference. Jeannot was caught tangled in the crease, but he was being checked into the ground by Zibanejad as Shesterkin tries to come across back into the net. #gobolts
Jeannot in the blue of his own accord and collides with Shesterkin, so this #NYR challenge could be successful. Then again, what is goalie interference? Philosophers have been trying to answer that question for millenia
#NYR are challenging this on the grounds of goalie interference. https://t.co/Odfg9Iz2P0
the Rangers are challenging the goal to see if there was goaltender interference https://t.co/0QSntcR1bm
#NYR challenging for goaltender interference https://t.co/guy7AUga3F
back to back games with a goal for Eyssimont - he puts the #Bolts on the board with 5:05 remaining in this first period 2-1 New York Rangers
Oh, what do you know, it's time to change the definition of goaltender interference again ... #NYR
Igor Shesterkin makes initial save on long shot and gets drawn out of position before Michael Eyssimont puts in a wraparound to cut #NYR lead 2-1. No. 31 was not happy, immediately skated toward the ref.
Michael Eyssimont gets TBL on the board. Igor gets caught out of position on a scramble and Eyssimont wraps it around. 2-1, #NYR
Blue collar shift for the #Bolts and Mikey Eyssimont scores on a wraparound to make it 2-1 with 5:05 left in the first.
Panarin storms in an shoots a wrister from the high slot that Vasilevskiy swallows. #GoBolts #NYR
You don't often see coincidental holding penalties. I'm not sure I have before now. Cuylle and Haydn Fleury are off, and we are 4-on-4. #NYR
