Did Ben Scrivens sell goalie interference call on Jarome Iginla? (Video)
A Jarome Iginla goal was disallowed Wednesday night in a game between the Colorado Avalanche and Montreal Canadiens for goaltender interference. But did Iginla actually interfere with Canadiens netminder Ben Scrivens?
At the 13:51 mark of the second period Iginla corralled a rebound off a shot by Erik Johnson and pushed it past a sprawled Scrivens. The goal was called off immediately by official Steve Kozari who gave Iginla a goaltender interference penalty.
Iginla argued the call, but to no avail. Iginla eventually got his revenge, scoring his 605th goal of his NHL career at the 16:46 mark of the second.
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Avalanche could have challenged the call. If the referee determined there was no contact, the penalty could have been wiped off and the goal allowed.
Colorado won the game 3-2 on the strength of two Iginla goals.
The Avalanche now have 64 points, in the top Wild Card position in the Western Conference.
The spiraling Canadiens have 58 points, six behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for the last Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
