Anyone who knows hockey knows that Winnipeg Jets blue-liner Dustin Byfuglien is a very large human being who likes to throw his 6-foot-5, 260-pound frame around.

However, Byfuglien's aggressive nature got the better of him in Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens, as he received a 10-minute misconduct for bumping into the referee following a melee in the Jets' crease near the end of the third period.

Check it out:

Following the game, Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice was not concerned about the situation and thought Byfuglien didn't mean to bump the referee at all, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Sun.

The Jets went on to take the game in overtime for their 50th win of the season.

A pair of A-list celebrity Nashville Predators fans took to Twitter to express their feelings after the team was robbed of a late, game-tying goal in Florida on Tuesday.

Kiefer Sutherland offered the following take:

Next, Grammy-award winner Carrie Underwood - wife of Preds center Mike Fisher - expressed her deep displeasure.

Further to that, she quoted this tweet from golfer Brandt Snedeker with an affirmative 'yup.'

Maybe next time the NHL will think before they overturn a Predators goal.

If you're a hockey fan in Music City, you're likely not humming a very happy tune at the moment because the Nashville Predators' game-tying, buzzer-beating goal was waved off due to goaltender interference Tuesday against a Florida Panthers squad playing for its postseason life.

Nashville forward Filip Forsberg appeared to level the game with less than a second remaining in regulation, but upon review, the goal was waved off.

That was the final decision, but that doesn't mean you can't still have your say. So, simply put: goal or no goal?

Filip Forsberg is quite convinced he and his Nashville Predators were robbed of a late, game-tying goal Tuesday in Florida.

The winger put the puck in the net with less than a second remaining in regulation, but upon further review, it was waved off due to goaltender interference.

"It's a goal," he said, per Adam Vingan of The Tennessean. "It's got to be a goal.

"I don't know what's going on," he continued. "It's so inconsistent that we don't even know when it's a goal or not, but this one was clearly a goal. The puck was never covered. The goalie had no clue where it (was), and it ends up on my tape and it's in. And they somehow don't think so. I disagree 100 percent."

The NHL later clarified the ruling, saying "the deliberate actions of (Predators forward Viktor) Arvidsson's stick caused Luongo to spin and cause the covered puck to come loose prior to the goal."

The league recently tried to resolve the ongoing saga of questionable goalie interference calls, putting a retired referee in the war room in Toronto. Still, Forsberg isn't convinced it's working.

"Either the refs don't know or Toronto doesn't know," he said. "They're definitely not on the same page because there's so many different situations and similar situations, too, that get called both ways. I don't know who made the call here, but they definitely didn't get it right."

The Florida Panthers were saved by a goaltender interference call late in Tuesday's win over the Nashville Predators.

Predators winger Filip Forsberg appeared to tie the game with less than a second remaining in regulation, but upon further review - automatically triggered by the NHL's war room in Toronto - the goal was waved off due to apparent goaltender interference.

The NHL said "the deliberate actions of (Viktor) Arvidsson's stick caused (Roberto) Luongo to spin and cause the covered puck to come loose prior to the goal," according to Adam Vingan of The Tennessean.

It was a significant turn of events for the Panthers, who desperately needed the two points to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

The loss for the Predators, coupled with the Winnipeg Jets' overtime win against Montreal, prevented Nashville from clinching the Central Division.

With a nail-biting victory against the Nashville Predators, plus the Philadelphia Flyers' loss to the New York Islanders, the Florida Panthers' ever-so-slim playoff hopes were kept alive Tuesday.

Roberto Luongo had his team in the contest all night long, registering 45 saves, while Colton Sceviour provided the game-winning goal.

Entering play Tuesday, Florida sat six points back of the Flyers with one game in hand, closing that gap to four with three games remaining.

Florida plays the Boston Bruins - twice - and the Buffalo Sabres to close the regular season.

Artemi Panarin has made Columbus Blue Jackets history in his first season with the club.

The winger recorded one goal and two assists Tuesday against Detroit, reaching 80 points for the season (27 goals, 53 assists) in 80 games.

The total eclipses the franchise's single-season points record of 79 set by Rick Nash in 2008-09, according to the Blue Jackets.

Panarin was acquired from Chicago in a multi-player trade last summer that saw Brandon Saad go the other way. He recorded 77 points as a Blackhawks rookie in 2015-16, and 74 with Chicago last season.

Montreal goalie Carey Price made history in starting Tuesday against Winnipeg, passing Jacques Plant for the most regular-season games played by a Canadiens goaltender.

Price recently passed Patrick Roy - who appeared in 551 games - for second on the list.

Entering Tuesday, Price had a 286-200-61 career regular-season record with a .919 save percentage after being drafted fifth overall by Montreal in 2005.

Price's eight-year, $84-million extension kicks in next season, meaning he'll continue to set the bar in Montreal for the foreseeable future.

With the postseason only days away, the Boston Bruins received some unfortunate injury news, as the team announced Tuesday that defenseman Brandon Carlo will be out three-to-four months with a fractured ankle.

Carlo was injured during Boston's victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday after a nasty fall. He appeared to catch an edge while battling for the puck with Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov. Carlo didn't need to be stabilized but did leave on a stretcher.

The 21-year-old will have the fracture repaired next week.

Through 76 games for the Bruins this season, Carlo had six points to his credit in just over 19 minutes of ice time per night.

Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson did not travel with the team for its season-ending three-game road trip, choosing instead to remain home with his wife Melinda following the recent death of their infant son, Axel.

The Senators confirmed his absence Tuesday, according to NHL.com.

Karlsson made waves Monday by keeping the puck after what could have been his final home game with the club, as trade talk has followed the all-world defenseman for weeks.

With this new development, Ottawa's loss to the Winnipeg Jets could very well end up being his Senators swan song.

Karlsson ends his season with nine goals and 53 assists in 71 games, and is currently fourth among rearguards in total points.

General manager Pierre Dorion has said the team plans to offer Karlsson a contract extension July 1; failing an agreement, the defenseman can become an unrestricted free agent in 2019.
