The puck crossed the goal line, but the buzzer didn’t sound until later – Esa Lindell involved in Dallas’ confusing goal | Sport

From Finland, Dallas Stars’ Roope Hintz and Colorado Avalanche’s Mikko Rantanen managed to score in the night’s NHL round.

Dallas Stars Finnish forward Roope Hintz broke his three-game scoreless streak in the NHL when the Stars beat the Minnesota Wild 4–0. At the same time, the team’s three-game losing streak was broken.

Hintz scored the winning goal underpowered in the first period when Tyler Seguin snatched the puck in the corner of the Minnesota goal and delivered it to the Finn, who had an easy job of finishing.

– Pretty funny, I’ve scored three goals and two underpowered goals in Minnesota this season. Our chain had a lot of places to make, but we’ve had trouble finishing it. I hope we get new energy from this, chosen as the second star of the match Hintz sets the mood.

The underpowered goal was the Finn’s tenth of his career.

Seguin himself was responsible for the most confusing hit of the match at the beginning of the third period. The Canadian got up from the wing to the attack zone and shot the puck past the goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury. The Minnesota defense quickly cleared the puck that was rolling on the goal line, and the referees ruled that the puck did not go into the goal and the game continued.

Twenty seconds later, the buzzer sounded and the hit was declared a goal. Esa Lindell recorded a 2–0 hit assist point.

The rest of Dallas’ goals struck Radek Fax and Jason Robertson.

Dallas is fourth in the Western Conference, Minnesota is 13th.

Rantanen and MacKinnon in tune

Among the Finnish players, the Colorado Avalanche also managed to score in the round of the night Mikko Rantanen. Rantanen scored his team’s 1-1 equalizing goal with a superior effort into the Boston Bruins’ net.

The even match was decided in the shootout in favor of Colorado 4–3. The goal was Rantanen’s 21st of the season.

Rantanen’s teammate Nathan MacKinnon collected powers 0+1. He has already produced 66 power points this season and managed to increase his points in each of the 22 home games of the season. The track record is Joe Sakic 23 home game point streak in the 2000–2001 season.

In other matches of the round, the Vancouver Canucks beat the top team of the Eastern Conference, the New York Rangers 6–3, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4–1.
