- The NHL issued a statement regarding a Situation Room error made on a Coach’s Challenge at NYR/BUF. The goal was disallowed on review but later determined that the video review should have been inconclusive and that the goal should have counted. Stats include only the original review; they have not been adjusted for this league correction which was after the fact.
