NHL explains why Kyle Turris was not offsides on winning goal

Kyle Turris

Kyle Turris gave the Ottawa Senators a huge victory with a game-winning goal in overtime to lift his team over the New York Rangers 5-4 in Game 5 of their second-round playoff series on Saturday.

Many Rangers fans were understandably frustrated about the goal being scored. Moreover, some complained that Turris was offsides for the play.

Here’s a look at the goal, which shows Turris received the puck just before crossing the blue line:

NHL Hockey Operations confirmed that Turris had possession and control of the puck prior to crossing the blue line, which means he was not offsides.

Tough break, Rangers fans. Game 6 of the series will be on Tuesday in New York with the Rangers looking to send it to a deciding seventh game.
