In the remaining seconds of Game 5, with the Oilers up 3-2, the Ducks scored with seconds left on a controversial play.
Despite Ryan Kesler’s interference with Cam Talbot, the referees called it a good goal and the call on the ice stood. The NHL explained that because Darnell Nurse checked Kesler into the net, there was no goaltender interference.
Look at the replay. Kesler grabs Talbot’s pad, stopping him from moving. In that sense, he was unable to stop the goal. The call on the ice likely should not have stood, but it did, and now, the Oilers find themselves down in this series, 3-2.
