The Columbus Blue Jackets appear to have caught a major break early in Game 4 on Thursday night.

Facing a 2-0 deficit in the first period, Artemi Panarin bagged his fifth goal of the playoffs to get the Jackets on the board, except the referees didn't notice the puck deflected into the spectator netting earlier in the play.

The refs didn't see the puck went out of play and it was not eligible for video review.

The NHL has already received criticism for its review policies during this year's playoffs, as the inability to look at a missed call in the third period of Game 7 between the San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights drastically changed the outcome of the series.
