Whether intentional or not, THG seems to indicate that the Hurricanes were somehow involved in the call. They were not. Per the Athletic article mentioned earlier:
"Nationwide Arena’s off-ice officials are in the process of training a video coordinator, a person charged with making sure NHL hockey-operations executives in Toronto can connect with NHL officials at ice level for just this kind of review, using both audio (headsets) and video (Apple iPads)."
So the Canes had no personnel involved in the decision.
