Although “Penguins” head coach Dan Muse requested a video replay to evaluate this episode, the referees still counted Giroud’s goal after deliberation.
“I didn’t get any explanation (from the referees). I can’t explain it,” the Penguins head coach, who was generally unhappy with the team’s performance in the match, said of the controversial episode.
“I thought he (Shilov) played a good game. We played well outnumbered. Other than that, there was nothing else I didn’t like about the match,” Muse added.
24-year-old Shilov has won 10 matches in 25 matches this season, scored an average of 2.96 goals and saved 89.5% of shots.
On the other hand, the other “Penguins” goalkeeper Stuart Skinner, who was acquired in a trade deal in December, won eight victories in 12 matches, allowed an average of 2.72 innings and saved 89.5% of shots.
The “Penguins” are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings with 67 points in 54 games, while the “Senators” are in 11th position in the East with 61 points in 55 matches.
