With 11:13 remaining in the second overtime period between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Anaheim Ducks, it looked like a goal scored by Andrew Shaw would give Chicago the win in what turned out to be the second longest playoff game in NHL history.

But after referees reviewed the video, they determined Shaw had actually head-butted the puck into the net — and the goal was disallowed. The NHL rules do not permit players to deliberately use body parts to push the puck into the net.

Despite having Shaw's goal negated, the Blackhawks eventually won the game 3-2 on a goal by Marcus Kruger with just 3:38 remaining in the third overtime period.
Chicago Sun-Times hockey writer Mark Lazerus caught up with Shaw afterward. The centerman kept a sense of humor about the incident.
Andrew Shaw: "Everyone is always telling you to use your head when you’re out there, so I guess I just went and did that." #Blackhawks
