Anton Khudobin appeared to get away with one on Sunday.

The Dallas Stars goaltender poke checked Vancouver Canucks star Elias Pettersson on a penalty shot and let go of his stick in the process.

By rule, a goal is awarded if the netminder is deemed to have tossed his stick on a penalty shot.

Earlier this month, Alex Ovechkin was given a goal upon review after New York Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev hurled his stick on a shootout attempt.
