Another night, another net off its moorings at Scotiabank Arena.
Auston Matthews' goal was waved off late in the first period on Friday night when the Philadelphia Flyers' net became dislodged before the puck crossed the line.
It was the second time in as many games that a wayward net has victimized the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Chicago Blackhawks netminder Collin Delia pushed his net off Wednesday night when the Leafs were pressing for the tying goal in the final minute of a 5-4 Blackhawks victory. That prompted Leafs star John Tavares to call for a challenge to be implemented if a defending team intentionally shoves its net off.
