The Boston Bruins were down one with the Florida Panthers when the Panthers scored a controversial game-tying goal early in the third period.

Sam Bennett, who has become public enemy number one in Boston due to him injuring Brad Marchand, scored this goal, which many believe had goaltender interference.
Unfortunately, the NHL surprisingly disagreed, releasing this ruling:
Coach's Challenge: FLA @ BOS -
3:41 of the Third Period

Challenge Initiated By: Boston

Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference

Result: Original call is confirmed - Goal
Florida

Explanation:
Video review supported the Referees' call on the ice that that the shove by Florida's Sam Bennett on Charlie Coyle and the subsequent contact with Jeremy Swayman did not prevent Swayman from playing his position in the crease prior to bennett's goal.

Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game - Unsuccessful Challenge
