He also said the linesman made the call and blew the whistle.

Ummm, can they do that?

Normally, penalty calls are made by the referees. Linesmen are left to handle icing and offside violations. They can also stop play for a number of reasons, including hand passes, pucks played with a high stick, injuries, and a handful of other situations.

They can stop play for situations where there are too many men on the ice, when objects are thrown on the ice from the bench or penalty box, or when a player receives a stick illegally. In those cases, the linesman will report the issue to the referee, who makes the call.

Can Linesmen Call Penalties?

Panthers didn’t exactly finish that period on a positive note did they…
