Did Pacioretty get away with interference before his OT winner?

Max Pacioretty was the hero for the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night, but should have probably been in the penalty box.

Moments before potting the overtime winner against the Winnipeg Jets, Pacioretty levelled Dustin Byfuglien in the offensive zone as the puck swung around the boards.

Byfuglien clearly wasn't pleased as he skated off.

Dustin Byfuglien gave the officials big stick taps of loving support as they left the ice.

Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck believes the call should have been made.

Byfuglien may have been interfered with, but he then failed to clear the puck, and that allowed the Canadiens to work it around for the decisive goal seconds later.
