A video clip from the game shows an unusual scenario where five Ducks players are actively involved in the play, and suddenly, Ross Johnston emerges from the bench, making it apparent that there were six players on the ice for the Ducks.
Richardson revealed that the Blackhawks coaching staff noticed the violation and attempted to alert the officials. Despite their efforts, the extra player on the ice went unnoticed by the referees, raising questions about the fairness of the play.
