The St. Louis Blues may have gotten away with one in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
With under 10 minutes to play in the third period and St. Louis holding a 1-0 lead, Tyler Bozak seemed to trip Bruins forward Noel Acciari in the Boston zone. The play allowed David Perron to pick up the loose puck and beat netminder Tuukka Rask off an awkward bank shot.
Boston got on the board with Jake DeBrusk's fourth goal of the playoffs, but it wasn't enough as Perron's goal stood as the winner in the 2-1 victory.

The Blues found themselves on the opposite side of a controversial play in Western Conference Final when the San Jose Sharks scored the overtime winner in Game 3 after a hand pass led directly to the winning goal.
