No goal in Utah. Buffalo player cuts through the crease and Vejmelka is slightly impeded with the knob of his stick hitting him as he tries to make a blocker save.
What was brutal is the shot was not even on net it was going wide and hit Malenstyn and went in. That puck deflected off of a part of Malenstyn but somehow impeded the goalie.

I would argue that his presence in the crease prevented Vejmelka being to take up his position when the knob of his goal stick hit him as he tried to raise his blocker in the direction of the puck, which makes it goaltender interference according to the rule as written. I am of course a Utah fan, so I have an inherently biased point of view.

You never know when Toronto gets to make one of these calls either. I probably wouldn't exactly have been extremely upset if they had allowed the goal to count.
