The NHL Announces a Last-Minute Change to the Montreal Canadiens' First Goal
The National Hockey League announced a change to the first goal scored by the Montreal Canadiens today.
In fact, there was some confusion, as the NHL had to correct its correction.
It was initially announced that the first goal scored by the Canadiens, against the Boston Bruins, had been changed.
Arber Xhekaj was then credited with the goal.
But ultimately, the goal was changed again and again, a third time, to be credited to Cole Caufield.

See the play in question.
The confusion is understandable, but the final verdict is that it is indeed Cole Caufield's goal, his 15th of the season!
What a play by Arber Xhekaj on this sequence nonetheless!
The Canadiens' goal was officially changed to Cole Caufield's; Arber Xhekaj's first of the season will have to wait a little longer.
