VIDEO: Was it covered? Blue Jackets' Scott Hartnell scores controversial goal vs. Penguins

Aaron Doster / USA TODAY Sports

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury would argue he had covered the puck,  but Scott Hartnell and the Columbus Blue Jackets would say otherwise. 

With the Blue Jackets up 3-2 in the third period, a scramble ensued in front of Fleury. It seemed like a matter of time before a whistle would be blown, but it never came. Fleury failed to cover the puck and Hartnell knocked it in.

Was it the right call?

Sidney Crosby seemed visibly upset, but the goal stood making it 4-2 Jackets.
