"Another controversial call helped do in the Senators in on Tuesday.

Trailing the Coyotes 3-2 with 8:34 left in regulation time, Nick Foligno burst around Phoenix defenceman Keith Yandle to seemingly set up Daniel Alfredsson for the tying goal. But referee Dan O'Halloran waved it off and gave Foligno a goaltender interference penalty, even though it looked like 'tender Mike Smith caused the collision by sticking out his arm as Foligno went through the top of his crease.

"I thought he came out to make the pokecheck and I don't really know how else I'm supposed to avoid that kind of a play," said Foligno, who was getting pressure from behind by Yandle.

"It is what it is. They make the call and we weren't able to find that equalizer.""
