Jeff Skinner scored to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead, but the Kraken challenged for a missed stoppage for what they believed was a high stick by Connor Brown prior to the goal. After a long review, it was deemed Brown did high stick the puck and the goal was taken away.
Is there conclusive evidence to overturn the original call?

Can you do the flames goal called off for goalie interference vs the stars, please?
I’m an oilers fan and this call really frustrated me as it meant we not only didn’t get the goal, it took away all out momentum and let that circus happen in the second.
Yep. On the front angle, you might say that the guy swiping at it would have hit it but for the touch–like, it slowed the puck down some. But that's not conclusive evidence. The guy might have also just swiped and missed on his own. As for puck movement itself, nothing clear whatsoever. Totally inconclusive. Whatever the call on the ice was, that's the call.
To me, the first angle looks like contact. I don't know what the standard of "conclusive" is for the NHL, but if I were the official looking at that, I'd call it back.
