Oilers disagree with ruling on Ducks' OT goal: 'It wasn't very definitive'

The Edmonton Oilers are dissatisfied with the explanation they received regarding Ryan Poehling's controversial overtime winner in Sunday's Game 4.

The Anaheim Ducks forward flung a puck to the net front and it trickled through Tristan Jarry's pads off a bounce. The view of the goal line was blocked by Jarry's skate, but the goal stood after review and Anaheim claimed a 3-1 series lead.

"They huddled, went to center ice, and then made the call that it was a good goal. It wasn't very definitive," Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said, per ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.

Knoblauch added, "It was very close. I've seen it before where I thought we were going to get away with it. Where they thought a goal has gone in, and they haven't been able to prove them. I thought that was what the call was going to be, but they obviously thought otherwise."

There was no immediate call on the play. Referees announced it was a good goal, but the NHL initiated a review. The league declared: "The referee's initial call on the ice was that the puck completely crossed the goal line. Following video review, the Situation Room determined that the puck completely crossed the goal line."

Defenseman Mattias Ekholm said, "You guys saw it on the screen. We saw it on the TVs on the bench. I don't know how they see it as a conclusive goal."

The Oilers are now one loss from elimination after reaching back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals. Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET in Edmonton.
