With the Vegas Golden Knights up 4-3 against the Ottawa Senators in the third period on Thursday, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare scored a key insurance marker to give his club a two-goal lead.

However, the Senators argued goaltender Craig Anderson was taken out by Knights forward William Carrier and challenged the call.

The goal was upheld after the Situation Room determined "Anderson initiated contact with Carrier, who was outside the crease prior to the goal. Therefore no goaltender interference infractions occurred."
