The Columbus Blue Jackets lost 4-3 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. Coach Dean Evason criticized the referees for missing a penalty before Nick Suzuki’s game-winning goal.
In overtime, Suzuki visibly grabbed Kent Johnson’s hip and pulled him down, but mp penalty was called on the play, and Suzuki scored moments later on a three-on-two rush. Referees Michael Sullivan and Brian Pochmara didn't explain the no-call, as officials aren't required to speak postgame.
The Athletic's Aaron Portzline shared Evason's remarks on the no-call on Nick Suzuki:
"You mean at the end when they didn't call the penalty, when the guy (Suzuki) grabbed (Johnson's) hip and pulled him back and then that guy went down and scored?
