NHL Rescinds Nathan MacKinnon’s Goalie-Interference Major From Oilers Game

The reversal resets his accumulation toward an automatic one-game ban under the league’s major-penalty rule.

Overview

  • MacKinnon told reporters Thursday that the league wiped the five-minute major from the March 9 matchup, as relayed by journalist Corey Masisak.
  • The change does not affect the Avalanche’s 4-3 loss but returns his major-penalty count to zero for suspension-tracking purposes.
  • The original call followed a collision with goalie Connor Ingram after a sequence that observers contended included a shove from defenseman Darnell Nurse.
  • He was ejected with a five-minute goaltender-interference major and a 10-minute game misconduct after in-game video review upheld the penalty.
  • The NHL has not publicly provided a reason for the rescission, and reports said Ingram left the game and was replaced by Tristan Jarry.
