A team may only request a Coach’s Challenge to review the
following scenarios:
(i)
“Off-side” Play Leading to a Goal
– A play that results in a “GOAL” call on the ice where the defending team asserts that the play should have been stopped by reason of an “Off-side” infraction by the
attacking team.
(a) The standard for overturning the call in the event of a
“GOAL” call
on the ice is that the NHL Situa
tion
Room, after reviewing any
and all available replays and consulting with the Linesman
,
determines that one or more Players on the attacking
team
preceded the puck into the attacking zone prior to the goal being
scored and that, as a result, the play sh
ould have been stopped
for an “Off
-side” infraction; where this standard is met, the goal
will be disallowed.
(b) If the result of the challenge is that the play was
“On-
side
”, the
goal shall count and the team that issued the challenge shall be
assessed a
minor penalty for delaying the game.
(c)
In the event a goal is reversed due to the
NHL Situation
Room
(after consulting with the Linesman) determining that the play was
“Off
-side” prior to the goal being scored, the clock (including
penalty time clocks,
if applicable) will be re-set to the time at
which the play should have been stopped for the “Off
-side”
infraction.
NOTE 1
: Goals will only be reviewed for a potential “Off
-side”
infraction if: (a) the puck does not come out of the attacking zone
again;
or (b) all members of the attacking team do not clear the
attacking zone again, between the time of the “Off
-side” play and the
time the goal is scored.
NOTE 2
: If one or more penalties (major or minor) are assessed
between the time of the “Off-side” play and the video review that
disallows the apparent goal, the offending team(s) (and responsible
Player(s)) will still be required to serve the penalty(ies) identified and assessed, and the time of the penalty(ies) will be recorded as the time
at which the play should have been stopped for the “Off-side”
infraction.
