Golden Knights general manager George McPhee said the league reached out to the organization to admit an error was made by officials in assessing a crucial major penalty to Cody Eakin during Tuesday night’s Game 7 in San Jose.
The Sharks scored four times during the power play to erase a 3-0 deficit and eventually won 5-4 in overtime to end the Knights season.
“The league did reach out and apologize,” McPhee said Thursday. “They made a mistake and I’m sure (the officials) feel bad about it. They want to get things right like we all do when we’re doing our jobs.
