The Vegas Golden Knights tied Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday at two after a controversial goal.
Vegas’ Tomas Tatar was given an assist after his shot towards the next deflected off David Perron’s skate and past Braden Holtby for a goal.

There was a question about whether or not there was goalie interference given that there was contact with Holtby. The Capitals decided to challenge the goal.
