ESPN.com - The NHL is investigating a scoreboard error that could have an "enormous impact" on playoff races in the Western Conference.
During Wednesday night's game at Staples Center, the clock briefly stopped in the closing seconds, giving Drew Doughty time to score the winning goal as the Kings beat the Jackets 3-2.
The puck officially crossed the line with less than a second to play. However, when the Jackets looked at video after the game, they discovered the clock froze for roughly a second just prior to Doughty's goal, meaning time should have expired before the puck crossed the line.
