Stop us if you've heard this one before: There was a controversial goalie interference review in an NHL game.
This time, though, the stakes have never been higher.
The Vegas Golden Knights appeared to win Game 2 of their series against the San Jose Sharks in overtime on a goal by Jonathan Marchessault.
But, instead of a 2-0 series lead for the expansion team, the goal went to review and it was determined by the situation room in Toronto — which took over the process for goalie interference reviews late in the regular season — that Marchessault interfered with Sharks goalie Martin Jones before potting the rebound.

The Sharks went on to win the game in the second overtime on a power-play goal by Logan Couture.
The loss was the first for the Golden Knights in the playoffs. The series now shifts to San Jose for Monday's Game 3 tied up 1-1.
