It happened again.
There have been countless situations — with DeAndre Ayton and Nikola Jokic and Evander Kane and more — in which an official stat rebound, assist, steal or shot on goal had been called into question by vengeful bettors.
On Monday, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Jake Guentzel pulled up for a shot against the Montreal Canadiens with 1:07 remaining in the third period with the score tied 2-2.
Canadiens goaltender Sam Montembeault made an arm save as the puck ricocheted off to the side, but the official scorer did not award Guentzel this shot on goal.
