The NHL has officially announced an unexpected change regarding the Carolina Hurricanes’ overtime game-winning goal against the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

The Game 3 winning goal was awarded, changed, and then re-awarded in an absolutely unique sequence.<\/p>\n

The NHL shared footage of the controversial goal on social media.<\/p>\n

Some clearly saw goaltender interference on Dobes.<\/p>\n

It is officially the first playoff overtime goal of Andrei Svechnikov’s career<\/p>\n

Ryan Henkel shared the information on social media.<\/p>\n

“This was Andrei Svechnikov’s first career playoff overtime goal.”<\/p>\n

A significant achievement for the young Svechnikov.<\/p>\n

But let’s just say it was not easy for the National Hockey League to determine, and frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes’ game-winning goal was initially awarded to Andrei Svechnikov.<\/p>\n

Before changing it once again to officially give it back to Svechnikov.<\/p>\n

Cory Lavalette confirmed the final decision on social media.<\/p>\n

“The goal is back to Svechnikov. Jarvis with the lone assist.”<\/p>\n

Did they actually get a proper look at what happened on that goal in the end?<\/p>\n

For Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens, it is also an extremely frustrating situation.<\/p>\n

The team has just lost a crucial home game in overtime under somewhat unclear circumstances.<\/p>\n

Now it remains to be seen how the Canadiens will recover from this painful loss. And whether the team will take advantage of Game 4 at the Bell Centre to tie the series at 2-2.<\/p>\n
