WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals — and more specifically, John Carlson – found themselves on the wrong side of a coach's challenge once again in Friday's tilt against the New York Islanders.

Carlson had scored in the second period on a delayed penalty to make it a 3-2 game, putting a rebound past Semyon Varlamov. However, Patrick Roy challenged for goaltender interference, as Hendrix Lapierre was lurking in the blue paint.

After a bit of a lengthy review, the NHL situation room determined that there was goaltender interference on the play and waved off Carlson's goal.

The situation room cited NHL Rule 69.3 as the reason for the overturned goal.

"Video review determined Washington’s Hendrix Lapierre had a significant presence in the crease and impaired Semyon Varlamov’s ability to play his position prior to the puck entering the New York net," the situation room explained in a statement.

"According to Rule 69.3, 'If an attacking player establishes a significant position within the goal crease, so as to obstruct the goalkeeper’s vision and impair his ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.'"

It marked the third goal that the 34-year-old has had called back this season.
