The Edmonton Oilers closed out their series against the Los Angeles Kings last night. In the win, some controversy was caused due to a goal scored by Leon Draisaitl. A shot into a goaltender's glove that ended up in the net was debated to be a goal or not by many fans.
As you can see in this video Leon Draisaitl gets stopped but the goaltenders glove goes across the goal line and you can clearly see the puck in his glove in the net. A debate was had a short time late on a Sportsnet panel where they discussed goalies changing their equipment color to make the puck more difficult to see.
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman admits that he would expect several goalies around the league to reconsider the color of their equipment to gain such an advantage. To this point, goaltending equipment color has mostly been about style but now it could all be about competitive edge soon.
