Doug Weight wants clarity on goaltender interference rule

Add Doug Weight to the ever-growing list of those seeking some semblance of clarity on what is and what is not goalie interference.

The hot button topic will be on the agenda, and will likely dominate the discussions, at the NHL general managers meeting Monday through Wednesday at Boca Raton, Florida.

The Islanders coach was still red hot after Friday night’s 6-3 loss at Washington where he lost his challenge on Alex Chiasson’s power-play goal that made it 4-1 at 1:46 of the third period.

Before Chiasson knocked in a loose puck in the crease, Jakub Vrana skated across the top of the blue arc and made contact with goalie Jaroslav Halak, who seemed to get spun out of position.
