In the third, trailing by two, Lars Eller looked as if he scored a momentum-changing goal on the power play. Instead, it was waved off because the officials deemed that Evgeny Kuznetsov had interfered with goalie Tuukka Rask — ensuring that Kuznetsov’s name would be called at least once in this series. (Whether he made a greater impact missing the first two games while on the covid-19 restricted list or when he played the last three — that’s debatable.)
