What's the Call?
Goalie Mask knocked off
Oilers game, Skinner knocked over, mask comes off, play continues with Oilers going up the ice.
Skinner gets mask and puts back on before play returns.
Correct Call?
RULE
When a goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask and his team has control of the puck, play shall be stopped immediately to allow the goalkeeper the opportunity to regain his helmet and/or face mask. When the opposing team has control of the puck, play shall only be stopped if there is no immediate and impending scoring opportunity. This stoppage of play must be made by the Referee. When play is stopped because the goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask, the ensuing face-off shall take place at one of the defending team's end zone face-off spots.
Play should have been stopped right away - Oilers should not have been allowed to go up ice.
