During the second period against the Anaheim Ducks, the San Jose Sharks’ power play got a chance to flex on a weak penalty kill once again and it was Luke Kunin who beat Anthony Stolarz on the man-advantage to give the Sharks a 3-2 lead with 3:25 remaining in the second period.
However, Anaheim challenged that forward Alexander Barabanov, who was in the midst of a line change, was offside.

Because Barabanov was trying to get through the bench door, which is located just inside the offensive zone, and his skates came off the ice before the puck crossed into the zone, he was not considered to be offside, as he was not an active player once his skates left the ice.
