Coach’s Challenges & Video Reviews – What’s the Difference?
- Video Review
- Initiated by referee or Situation Room.
- Reviews can be used to determine if puck crossed line; puck in net before goal dislodged; goal scored prior to time expiring; if puck was kicked or batted in; if puck deflected in directly off an official; or if puck was deflected in with a stick above the crossbar.
- Decision made by NHL’s Situation Room.
- Coach’s Challenge
- Initiated by team’s head coach; in overtime or final minute of regulation, eligible plays are automatically reviewed.
- Can only challenge for offside or goaltender interference.
- Offside will be reviewed by Situation Room, consulting with linesmen for issues around possession, tag-up, etc. Goaltender interference determination made by on-ice officials.
