The goal was not announced immediately, despite Matthews emphatically pointing towards the net to inform the officials that the puck had crossed the line.
It had taken the war room a moment to get the confirmation they were looking for before the horn sounded to signify that Matthews had indeed scored his league-leading 44th goal of the season. His reaction was priceless.
The whole situation reached fever pitch when William Nylander scored 10 seconds later to tie the game.
