Columbus Blue Jackets Screwed by New Goaltender Interference Review

It was a glorious night for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Their comeback win over the Detroit Red Wings all but secured them a spot in the playoffs in consecutive seasons.

But the opportunity to mathematically guarantee that spot was taken away by the new NHL goaltender interference review process. 1100 miles to the south, the Florida Panthers held a 2-1 lead over the Nashville Predators late in the third period.

The Predators pulled the goalie and brought on a sixth skater. With less than a second on the clock it appeared as though Filip Forsberg potted the game tying goal to send the game to overtime.
