Report: Senators protesting Kings goal allowed by clock malfunction

The Ottawa Senators aren't happy with Saturday's result for a variety of reasons.

On top of losing 4-1 to the Los Angeles Kings, a clock malfunction in the second period should have negated a goal against, and the team has contacted the league in protest, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

Clock slow to start beginning of 2nd in LA. 6 second delay. Adjustment made, but not enough. Kings scored end of period with 2 sec left...

...obviously had the clock functioned properly the late goal wouldn't have been scored. #controversy.

My understanding is the Senators have already contacted the NHL in protest of the Kings 3rd goal because of clock issue.

Kings forward Trevor Lewis scored the goal at 19:58 of the second period.
