Cody Eakin’s goal at 4:18 of the third, which would have put the Knights ahead 3-1, was overturned after Arizona coach Rick Tocchet challenged that Knights winger Alex Tuch was offside.
It’s the third time the Knights have had a goal overturned for offside by video replay.
“Ifilookatthechallenge on (Tuch’s goal), real close, but the right call was made,” Gallant said, adding later that Tuch never touched the puck before crossing the blue line and, therefore, never established possession.
Gallant used his challenge at 13:11 of the third after Derek Stepan scored his second goal to tie the game at2-2.
Coyotes forward Richard Panik was battling in front of the net with defenseman Deryk Engelland, but replay officials ruled no goaltender interference occurred before the puck crossed the line.
“Whenichallenged,there wassixminutesleftinthe hockey game, and did I think I was going to win it? No. But it was worth the risk,” Gallant said. “And they took some time to look at it because there was a little contact
there.”
Ottawa coach Guy Boucher unsuccessfully challenged for goaltender interference on a Knights goal Nov. 8.
The only other time the Knights won a video replay was Nov. 3 when a Carolina goal was waved off and the Situation Room initiated a review that confirmed the call.
