Bruins-Blackhawks Ref Reportedly Told Jonathan Toews He Made Wrong Call

The Boston Bruins may have benefited from the wrong call on this one.

With just over a minute remaining in the third period and the game tied 1-all, the Bruins benefited from the referee calling a hand-pass, negating a Blackhawks goal which would have given the hosts a 2-1 lead. The Bruins went on to force overtime and ultimately win the game 2-1 on Charlie McAvoy’s first goal of the year.

Chicago forward Jonathan Toews told reporters after the game the official told him he had made the wrong call.
