Peter Laviolette vents frustration over failed challenge for hand pass - Source: Imagn
The New York Rangers fell 3-2 to the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome in a game that left head coach Peter Laviolette fuming over a failed coach's challenge.
The Flames took the lead 2-0 in the second period after goals from Matt Coronato and Yegor Sharangovich. Sharangovich's goal came on a Calgary power play, with the puck deflecting off Jonathan Huberdeau's glove before the Flames forward fired it past Igor Shesterkin.
New York's coach, Laviolette, challenged the play, claiming it should've been considered a hand pass, but after the video review, the officials concluded that it wasn't a hand pass as the puck deflected off Huberdeau's glove rather than being intentional.
