The Colorado Avalanche and San Jose Sharks were in a tight playoff series. Trailing 2-1 with about 12 minutes left in the second period, the Avalanche started on a 2-on-1 with Nathan MacKinnon and Colin Wilson, who seemingly scored to tie the game. The Sharks challenged the call for offside, specifically because it appeared Gabriel Landeskog may not have tagged up outside the offensive zone as he was heading to the bench for a change. It was hard to find anything conclusive in the replays, but the NHL waved off the goal.
