The play was reviewed but the league apparently didn't have a conclusive replay to overturn the call on the ice of no goal. However, an overhead replay from Fox Sports Detroit showed the puck sailing just under the crossbar.

"I just saw it kind of went up in the air," Sheahan said. "I saw it hit off something and went up. I figured it wasn't in. Our guys in the locker room looking at video saw something different."

Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill wasn't sure what to make of it.

"It was weird from the bench; it looked like 'how did it not go in?' " Blashill said. "We couldn't tell where the puck went and then our guys in the back thought it went in based on what they saw. I looked at it between periods, didn't see a definitive view. Somebody told me they thought it was in but I haven't seen that yet."

Below, in the extended highlights of the Wings win, scroll to the 1:00 mark to watch the play, it should have been a goal but video evidence at the time was inconclusive. Then scroll to the 2:30 mark for additional replays, the puck did go in the net.
