Bates Battaglia tipped a shot at 10:10 of the second period on a power play that was a disputed goal.  Referee Jean Hebert waived it off as no goal but the goal judge flicked on the light indicating that it was.

Alexander Salak says that the puck went from post to post never crossing the goal line.

The play went on and as it ended Hebert reviewed the call with the goal judge and indicated that yes it was a goal.  That was the first goal of [...]Read More
