A few days later, Pietrangelo shocked everyone with a revelation. He claimed that a league official opened the penalty box before the game ended and gave him permission to step onto the ice.
"Alex Pietrangelo said that a league employee opened the penalty box at the end of last game and even asked if he could go on the ice before he did. "
This closes the debate, and it explains the League's decision to not suspend him.
All eyes are now on Game 5, which will take place on Tuesday night at the T-Mobile Arena. If the Knights win the series, it will be their first-ever Stanley Cup victory.
