Just who the wrong foot belonged to was a matter of debate. Sens forward Tim Stützle appeared to make contact with Alex Nedeljkovic’s left skate as Tyler Kleven’s drive from center point sailed past after redirecting off Noel Acciari’s skate. Pens skipper Mike Sullivan issued a challenge, claiming goaltender interference.
No dice said the replay officials.
Shane Pinto struck with just seconds to go on the ensuing power play to make it 2-0 for the bad guys, barely five minutes into the contest.
Tempers flared.
