VIDEO: Penguins' Neal ties Game 1, Rangers' Lundqvist suggests goaltender interference
Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports
Down 2-0 after the first period, the Pittsburgh Penguins managed to draw even with the New York Rangers on a rather odd goal scored by James Neal.
Upon receiving a pass in the slot, Neal fired a wrist shot on Henrik Lundqvist, who popped the puck into the air with his blocker. The puck fell in behind him and bounced over the goal line, but Lundqvist argued that Evgeni Malkin impeded his ability to do his job.
After a brief review to ensure Malkin did not get a high stick on the puck, the call on the ice stood and it was deemed a good goal.
Judge for yourself.
