SUNRISE, Fla. — Charlie McAvoy and the Bruins could only shake their heads as the referees huddled near the boards on Tuesday night.
For the second straight game, a momentum-shifting tally was going to video review, with goaltender interference assessed as the possible infraction.
McAvoy’s wrist shot while charging down the slot sailed past Sergei Bobrovsky — but Paul Maurice and the Panthers contested that their goalie was impeded and unable to put himself in a position to stop that Grade-A look.
“I’m like, this one has to go our way,” McAvoy said postgame of his mindset as referees Kyle Rehman and Steve Kozari put on their headsets and conferred with the NHL Situation Room in Toronto.
