The Edmonton Oilers had a tight lead in game two of the series, but would ultimately lose that lead on a controversial moment with official interference.

After a stunning goal to take a 1-0 lead in a must-win game for Edmonton, the Florida Panthers have fought back, with the scores locked at 1-1 as the game shifts into the third period. The goal was a dramatic one from start to finish, with Niko Mikkola almost scoring on his own net before beating Stuart Skinner to tie things up at one.

Mikkola almost scores on Bob... then beats Skinner.

Fun, wild sequence. 😂

Almost immediately, fans pointed out an issue with the goal however, as a slow-motion replay of the goal shows clear interference from the NHL official on an Oilers player during the fast-paced play.

Anybody else see the ref stop Connor Brown before that goal????

While it's clear as day that the official was in front of veteran Connor Brown and made contact with the forward, it was highly unintentional, as the official had nowhere to go to get out of the way. Given how important every moment is in the Stanley Cup Finals, it may be a talking point all series long however, as the Oilers look to desperately avoid an 0-2 hole by the time this series shifts back to Edmonton.
