Washington challenge fails as Svechnikov’s goal stands for Carolina
The Capitals received a two-minute delay-of-game penalty after a second-period goaltender-interference review.
Andrei Svechnikov’s goal for the Carolina Hurricanes stood after the Washington Capitals challenged for goaltender interference at 3:58 of the second period on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
The NHL’s Situation Room said video supported the on-ice ruling because Svechnikov was playing the puck in the crease. The league upheld Carolina’s goal.
Washington received a two-minute bench minor for delay of game after its unsuccessful challenge, according to the NHL’s report and official play-by-play.
