Lorentz hand pass on Holmberg goal – Tough Call Review
Steven Lorentz won a board battle and legally got the puck out to Pontus Holmberg for an empty net goal, but I can see why the official may not have picked up on this in real time.
Feels like there should be a better way of calling this so that it can be reviewed by the on-ice officials. Luckily it didn’t impact the game’s outcome, but it doesn’t benefit the NHL in any way to have legal goals taken off the board. (If he did close his hand on the puck, fair, that shouldn’t count; that’s not what was called on the ice though.)

Wouldnt it be "closing hand on puck" anyways?
