MANALAPAN, Fla. >> Coaches are challenging goals one way or the other for goaltender interference at the highest rate in six seasons, playoff races across the NHL are tight and the chase for the Stanley Cup is a month away.

Because of all that, video review — and particularly coach’s challenges for goalie interference — took center stage Monday to kick off the general managers’ annual spring meeting.

GMs were shown roughly 70 clips of goals challenged this season for interference, offside or a missed stoppage, such as the puck hitting the protective netting, a hand pass or a high stick. The aim was to explain what the league standards are for goaltender interference and to educate all 32 organizations on how the process works.

“These aren’t black and white,” vice president of hockey operations Kris King said. “There’s a lot of judgment that goes into these. ... They’re never the same. They’re snowflakes. There’s a lot of different things that go into it.”

Through the first 1,048 games this season, coaches challenged either a goal or no-goal call for goalie interference 105 times — the most since 2019-20 when getting it wrong first became a two-minute penalty — and 60 of them were successfully overturned, which is also the highest percentage under the current system.

“Games are tough,” King said. “It’s tough to score. Guys know the importance of winning games, and they’re going to the net hard.”

All video reviews are determined by the NHL’s situation room in Toronto, in consultation with on-ice officials. The decisions are made based on deliberate versus incidental contact, whether it’s in or out of the crease, whether the goalie can do his job and has a chance to reset and if there was anything done by the offensive or defensive player to cause the disruption.

“It’s hard,” said Bill Zito, GM of the reigning champion Florida Panthers. “You gain an appreciation for how hard and what a good job the refs do and the situation room. It’s unbelievable not only how good they are but how hard it is.”
