Brendan Gallagher’s injury could have been prevented by the officials

I have a small bone to pick with the officiating during that Montreal Canadiens game last Saturday night against the Dallas Stars.

I want to be very clear in this particular complaint, and note that I don’t feel this sequence from the officials impacted the result of the game. I do, however, feel that the officials missed two opportunities to avoid a potential player injury.

They missed a clear slashing call against Nick Suzuki, and his stick remained in the slot as the play went all the way back into the Montreal zone.
