from Craig Morgan of ArizonaSports,
Two questions into his postgame interview, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett was asked if the New Jersey Devils’ game-winning goal was the product of a New Jersey Devils penalty.
“I’m not going to comment on that,” Tippett said.
That’s coach speak for ‘you bet your bottom it was a penalty.’///
Forty-three seconds into overtime, however, Devils defenseman Adam Larsson appeared to cross-check Coyotes center Martin Hanzal in the lower back as Hanzal carried the puck from the circle toward the offensive blue line. Hanzal went down, New Jersey went the other way on a 3-on-1 and Larsson cashed in with the game-winning goal in a 3-2 win on Tuesday at Prudential Center.

Below, watch the hit and OT goal. IMO, it was not a penalty.
