On Sunday night, Juraj Slafkovsky took another step towards the 20-goal mark as he scored his 16th of the season. However, the NHL reviewed the play and credited this goal to Kaiden Guhle.
On the goal sequence, it's clear that the puck changed trajectory exactly at Slaf's passage, and he immediately celebrated as if he were the scorer.
Regardless, Slafkovsky still matched a historic mark held by Mario Tremblay in Canadiens' history, thanks to his assist on Nick Suzuki's goal.
So, the NHL potentially robbed Slafkovsky of the new record for a 19-year-old in Montreal Canadiens history by taking away his goal, but it's only a matter of time. The Slovak has 24 points in his last 28 games and is on a seven-game points streak. He should surpass Mario Tremblay in the coming days without much trouble.
