VIDEO: Sharks' Hertl has goal disallowed due to incidental contact

The San Jose Sharks were unhappy to end the opening 20 minutes of Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators without a goal after Tomas Hertl's effort was disallowed midway through the period.

Nashville netminder Pekka Rinne stopped Hertl's shot, but the San Jose forward's momentum carried him into Rinne in the crease, pushing the puck across the goal line in the process.

The play was ruled no goal on the ice due to the incidental contact, which is not reviewable, and video review confirmed the puck did not cross the goal line on the initial shot.

Hertl eventually scored a goal that did count late in the second period to put San Jose in front.
