BUFFALO, N.Y.<\/b> — Billy Exell’s third-period goal put Minnesota Duluth up 2-1 in Thursday’s Frozen Four semifinal against Providence, but Exell appeared to have opened the scoring at 9:45 in the first.<\/p>\n

When the game was tied 0-0, Exell’s stick found the puck with some traffic in the crease and the puck crossed the goal line — but after an official had blown the whistle. Although the play was reviewed, the rule is clear: Once the play is blown dead, nothing else matters.<\/p>\n

Then at 16:40 in the first, Duluth’s Cole Koepke also got the puck past Providence’s Hayden Hawkey and this time there was no whistle. The light went on and an official indicated that a goal was scored, but after a lengthy review, Koepke’s goal was waved off. What could have been a 2-0 Duluth lead after the first was a 0-0 tie game.<\/p>\n
