NHL admits mistake in disallowing Buffalo Sabres' last-minute tying goal

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The NHL announced it made the wrong call in disallowing what would have been the Buffalo Sabres' tying goal in the final minute of a 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers.

In a statement released by the league on Saturday, senior executive VP Colin Campbell said Victor Olofsson's goal scored with 57 seconds remaining Friday night should have stood because video replays could not "definitively determine" whether the Sabres were offside entering the zone.

The goal was disallowed after a replay showed Buffalo defenseman Rasmus Dahlin crossed the Rangers blue line before the puck entered the zone.
