With the score tied 2-2 and time winding down, Maple Leafs forward Alexander Kerfoot appeared to give his team the lead with a wraparound goal, but the officials called it off, citing goaltender interference.

The decision was a tough pill to swallow for the Maple Leafs, who felt they deserved the win after outshooting the Coyotes 36-23. “I thought we played well enough to win,” said Kerfoot. “We created a lot of good chances, but at the end of the day, we didn’t get the two points.”

The disallowed goal was certainly a turning point in the game, but it wasn’t the only reason the Maple Leafs came up short. In the end, the loss can be chalked up to a combination of factors, including some bad luck, a controversial call, and some untimely mistakes.

The Maple Leafs will look to rebound from this disappointing loss when they take on the New York Rangers on Wednesday night. The game against the Rangers will be an important one for the Maple Leafs, as they’ll look to keep pace with the Boston Bruins in the race for first place in the Atlantic Division.

The Maple Leafs are currently two points behind the Bruins, but they have a game in hand. Alexander Kerfoot’s goal was disallowed because of goaltender interference. The call was controversial, and it played a big role in the Maple Leafs’ 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.

But upon review, the goal was disallowed as the puck had been directed into the net off of Kerfoot’s skate. The decision proved to be a costly one, as the Maple Leafs would go on to lose the game by a score of 3-2.

So why was Alexander Kerfoot’s goal disallowed?

According to the NHL rulebook, a goal can be disallowed if “an attacking player kicks the puck into the net with his skate or uses any other part of his lower body or equipment to direct the puck into the net.”
