SC Langenthal's appeal approved - game has to be replayed

SC Langenthal filed a protest after the head referee disallowed them a goal in minute 59, which could have been the game winning goal. In the end, they lost the game 5-6 in overtime. The single judge now approves this protest due to a technical error of the referee.

Because the referee first decided on goal and it was impossible to see in the video if the puck actually crossed the line, the referee would have been obliged to stick to his initial on-ice decision. However, he disallowed the goal. Therefore, the game will have to be replayed on Thursday, March 20.

As EHC Visp informs, they will appeal to this decision within the next five days.
