Two shootout tries were decided by replay. Both calls went against the Detroit Red Wings.
Doug Weight scored the only goal of the tiebreaker - a shot overturned on a review - giving the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
Weight's shot was originally ruled as a save, but then changed to a goal.
Dominik Hasek slid backward toward the goal line as he attempted to make the save. He tried to stop his momentum, and referee Dan Marouelli signaled no goal. But the puck found its way into the net. Weight was St. Louis' final shooter in the three-round tiebreaker.
Dan Cleary, on Detroit's last attempt, was stopped by Jason Bacashihua on a similar play. That save also was reviewed, but upheld.
Tomas Mojzis netted his first NHL goal and Brad Boyes also scored for St. Louis. Bacashihua made 40 saves in the winning effort.
It's the fourth time St. Louis has beaten Detroit this season. Three have been since Andy Murray took over as coach on Dec. 11, after Mike Kitchen was fired.
The Blues will end their roadtrip with a visit to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets. The game starts at 5:30 PM CT.
