The SHL’s Situationsrum has explained four video-review decisions, covering a high-stick play and three instances of possible interference with the goalkeeper. The league says every goal is checked, and officials can seek help from the review room when needed.
The on-ice decision remains in force unless video shows it was wrong. If the footage cannot establish whether the call was correct, the review is inconclusive. In one example, a goal was allowed because the puck was redirected with a stick below the crossbar, under rule 80.3. Another goal stood because the attacking player did not prevent the goalkeeper from making a save, despite briefly entering the goal area.
Two other goals were disallowed under rule 69.3. In both cases, the attacker moved into the goal area and made contact with the goalkeeper before the puck passed. One involved contact with the goalkeeper’s glove; the other involved contact with the goalkeeper’s stick. The Situationsrum also says explanations are posted on X after reviews during games.
