Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov was called for tripping Arizona Coyotes defenseman J.J. Moser. 

 

While it’s true that Kochetkov got the puck first, that’s no longer enough to eliminate the penalty.  The NHL changed the tripping rule a few years back, enforcing that a penalty is issued even if the player made contact with the puck first. 

Knocking the puck away, though, prevents a possible penalty shot, as the player would no longer have possession at the time of the trip. From Rule 57.3:

If, in the opinion of the Referee, a player makes contact with the puck first and subsequently trips the opponent in so doing, no penalty shot will be awarded, but a minor penalty for tripping shall be assessed.

That’s really a moot point, as this doesn’t meet the criteria for a penalty shot anyway.  Moser was not fouled from behind, which immediately disqualifies the potential awarding of a shot.  Instead, a two-minute minor was assessed. 

Carolina’s Michael Bunting served the penalty.

The Carolina Hurricanes went on to defeat the Arizona Coyotes 5-1. Referees for the game were Brandon Blandina (#39) and Chris Schlenker (#3), with Jesse Marquis (#86) and C.J. Murray (#68) on lines.
