George McPhee, General Manager of the Vegas Golden Knights says the NHL reached out to the organization and admitted an error was made in Game 7 when refs called a 5-minute major on Cody Eakin.
Two referees who officiated the Game 7 math-up between the Vegas Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks, will not be officiating any games in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
In San Jose, the game will always be remembered as the Pavelski Payback for the four goals scored on one power play after the Sharks' captain was knocked out cold, turning around a wild Game 7 that finally ended in overtime.
Tomas Hertl scored a short-handed goal 11:17 into the second overtime to lift the San Jose Sharks to a 2-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday night, forcing a Game 7 in their first-round playoff series.
Tomas Hertl got San Jose off to the fast start that had been missing the past three games, Martin Jones came up with the big saves and the Sharks staved off elimination by beating the Vegas Golden Knights 5-2 in Game 5 of their first-round series Thursday night.
