This is the rule
Quote:

The NHL added a component to Rule 67, which prohibits players from closing their hand on the puck. This season, if a player covers the puck on the ice “in order to conceal it from or prevent an opponent from playing the puck,” he will receive a minor penalty. The existing rule that covering the puck in the goal crease results in a penalty shot for the opponent still stands.

I don't see how what Wideman did is that.
