Jets awarded 3rd goal after kicking motion, goalie interference reviews
The Winnipeg Jets scored their third marker of Game 1 on Saturday before the 10-minute point of the first period despite the fact that the goal was originally waived off due to goaltender interference.
In fact, two reviews took place: one to see if Joel Armia kicked the puck in the net, and then another to assess if he interfered with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Both rulings turned out in Winnipeg's favor, and the Jets took an early three-goal lead as a result.
YUP... Definitely a GOOD goal!

As expected, Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant was not happy with the outcome.
Fleury allowed more than two goals in the opening period for the first time this postseason.
