Nope, just the puck. I thought it went backwards at first too, but the overhead view shows it moving almost completely laterally, but with a slight forward momentum, hence why Trocheck was allowed to pick it up again and shoot it.
Weird play for sure, but by the letter of the law the refs were technically correct, the best kind of correct.
