NEWARK — John Hynes was ready to register his first coach's challenge when the Devils appeared to score a goal in the final seconds of the second period Friday night at Prudential Center.
The goal by Jacob Josefson, which came on a centering pass from Stephen Gionta with 48.5 seconds remaining in the second, was disallowed by the officials on the ice. They indicated Gionta had interfered with San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones.
"We went through the due diligence for sure. We have the review plan in place. We looked at it and it was the right call," Hynes said.
