Watched the replay at least a dozen times. Allison kicks Markstom’s left skate with his own right skate just as he’s redirecting it. Markstrom’s skate was moving right to left just before the contact but was moving left to right as the puck went in. The only possible cause that would obey the known laws of physics would be if Allison’s skate, which was in the crease, kicked Markstrom’s skate. But the call on the ice was a good goal, and the Flames probably didn’t want to take a risk on a challenge. It wasn’t called that way, but it 100% was goaltender interference.
Having said that, Markstrom wasn’t great, and the same could be said for many of the Flames. Playing down to the level of the competition again.
