Martin Necas had a goal disallowed after video review found that Colorado teammate Gabriel Landeskog interfered with Chicago Blackhawks goalie Spencer Knight on Monday.

The play came at 13:22 of the first period. In its explanation, the NHL said Landeskog prevented Knight from playing his position in the crease before Necas scored.

The review followed a coach’s challenge. The league cited Rule 69.1, which covers an attacking player interfering with a goalie’s movement or ability to defend the net.

Xtra Sports 1300 also reported that Chicago successfully challenged the apparent Colorado goal for interference with Knight.
