Columbus Blue Jackets Manipulate Rule That Needs Changed

Six minutes and twenty-eight seconds into the second period, former Columbus Blue Jackets and current New Jersey Devils defenseman Dalton Prout tripped Josh Anderson as Anderson started breaking away toward the New Jersey goal. This prompted the second penalty shot opportunity of the game for the Jackets, with Lukas Sedlak successfully converting the first.

In this situation, however, Anderson was slow to skate to the bench after crashing into the goal post. The Blue Jackets convinced the officials that Anderson was too injured to take the shot. This brought in Rule 24.
