Golden Knights cap comeback with upheld own goal, awkward celebration

The goal was scored by Alex Tuch, who was rewarded for some hard work down low and out into the front of the net. The puck, however, ultimately went in off Philipp Grubauer's trapper, and the Capitals claimed the goalie was interfered with.
Cue another review - a process that seems to go either way as of late, as evidenced by Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg recently blasting inconsistencies in officiating.
The goal was deemed good, thereby justifying Tuch's large and sloppy celebration that featured a tumble and a twirl.
Tuch's goal capped a third-period, one-goal comeback and helped improve the Golden Knights' record to 35-13-4, second overall in the NHL.
It's all coming up Vegas this season.
