Anaheim Ducks head coach Greg Cronin was given a game misconduct Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins after arguing with officials about a disallowed goal.

The Ducks had a tally waived off for goaltender interference. Cronin challenged the call and lost the review, resulting in a delay of game penalty. He was visibly upset with the result and was penalized after getting vocal with officials, ultimately leading to an ejection for unsportsmanlike conduct and a bench minor.

The Penguins scored on the ensuing power play to tie the game at 2-2 before the end of the second period. Anaheim managed to pull out a 4-3 win thanks to a goal from Mason McTavish in the dying seconds of regulation.

The NHL warned all 32 head coaches prior to the season about excessive tirades against officials, according to The Athletic.

Cronin was hired by the Ducks for his first NHL head coaching gig in June.
