The SHL situations room has explained seven decisions made after video reviews, covering goals, goalkeeper interference and a puck played with a high stick. The league says all goals are checked, and the on-ice decision stands unless video shows it was wrong. If the footage cannot establish whether the call was correct, the review is inconclusive.
One goal was awarded after video confirmed the entire puck had crossed the line. Another stood because contact with the goalkeeper came after the puck had passed him, while a third was allowed after contact outside the goal crease during a normal play. Three goals were disallowed for goalkeeper interference: an attacker initiated contact inside the crease, an attacker pushed the puck and goalkeeper over the line with excessive force, and an attacker interfered with the goalie’s stick. A further goal was ruled out because the puck was redirected with a stick above crossbar height.
The league says explanations of reviews are also shared on X during games.
