PITTSBURGH -- Mike Sullivan made a major impact for the Pittsburgh Penguins and some NHL history with his coach's challenge in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final.
Sullivan made the first coach's challenge in final history in the second year the procedure has been allowed. The Penguins coach challenged what looked like the Nashville Predators' first goal by P.K. Subban 7:13 into the first period on the basis that the play was offside.
In consultation with the NHL's situation room, linesman Brian Murphy ruled that Predators winger Filip Forsberg didn't have possession of the puck and was therefore offside by inches, if not less.
