Spencer Carbery challenged Shane Pinto's goal for goaltender interference because of how bad the Capitals were playing: 'It was worth a shot'

"We were not good in any facet of the game,"

"Embarrassing performance at home from our group."

"So, it was worth a shot to go down 2-0 at that point in the game. With how we looked, I thought it was going to be a difficult hole to climb out of."

"Video review determined that the puck completely crossed the Washington goal line before the net became displaced,"

The Washington Capitals were dominated early, recording just three shots in the first period and falling behind 1-0. Shane Pinto scored 3:27 into the second after being driven into goalie Charlie Lindgren by Jakob Chychrun, with the puck trickling over the line. Lindgren was furious officials did not signal no-goal immediately. Coach Spencer Carbery initiated a coach's challenge despite expecting slim odds; the challenge failed and the play stood, putting Washington down 2-0. Ottawa then scored on the following power play. The NHL review concluded the puck fully crossed the goal line before the net was displaced.
