Canucks win offside challenge before Sanheim seals Flyers’ 3–1 victory
A review found Travis Sanheim had entered the zone ahead of the puck. The Flyers defenceman later scored into an empty net with 59 seconds left.
The Vancouver Canucks erased a Philadelphia Flyers goal with a coach’s challenge 25 seconds into the third period Monday at Rogers Arena. The NHL Situation Room ruled that Philadelphia defenceman Travis Sanheim had entered the attacking zone ahead of the puck before the goal.
Philadelphia was leading 2–0 at the time. The NHL disallowed the goal under Rule 38.9 and reset the clock to 19:38, when Sanheim went offside.
Vancouver cut the lead to 2–1 on a power play at 12:44. Sanheim scored a shorthanded empty-net goal at 19:01 to finish a 3–1 Flyers win.
