Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant knows he isn’t going to win every challenge.
But he knew he was going to be right when he challenged a second-period goal by the Anaheim Ducks during Monday night’s game at T-Mobile Arena. The Knights claimed Rickard Rakell was offsides on Ryan Getzlaf’s goal with 3:11 left in the period.
Video coordinator Tommy Cruz notified the bench, and Gallant informed referees TJ Luxmore and Dean Morton of the challenge. The play was reviewed, Rakell was determined to be offsides and the goal was disallowed, keeping the score 1-0. The Knights lost 2-0.
