It was an easy decision for Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan to challenge for goaltending inference.
And as referee Chris Lee skated to center ice, proclaimed “no goal,” the Garden fans showed their displeasure. The boos hurled down from the blue seats and blanketed the ice in disappointment.
Kaapo Kakko was called for goalie interference after he made significant contact with goaltender Casey DeSmith with the help from Pittsburgh defenseman Brian Dumoulin. It caused a would-be game-deciding goal scored by Filip Chytil to be disallowed.Despite DeSmith exiting with an apparent injury and bringing in a cold Louis Domingue in the second OT,and a 1-0 lead in the series after Evgeni Malkin deflected in a shot from the point just under six minutes into the third extra period.
Ryan Strome, who finished with an assist and seven shots on goal, noted that it was difficult to look back on the overturned goal after having competed in three extra periods. There were a lot of small plays, the second-line center pointed out, the Rangers would’ve liked to have gone their way. Ryan Lindgren went to the locker room just before the third period started, then returned during a TV timeout to skate and see how he felt before retreating back to the dressing room. The Rangers’ top-pair defenseman took two shifts in the third period and competed in much of the first and second overtimes but did not participate in the final extra period.
