This hit by M. Dumba on J. Pavelski went from no call, to major, to a minor after huddles and reviews. One of the worst parts of the playoffs is the fear of making a call too consequential to the game.

Pavelski seems to have the worst luck in the playoffs, if you remember just a few short years ago when he was a member of the Sharks, he was a victim of a hit off the faceoff which turned out to be not dirty at all, but it gave the Sharks a 5 minute powerplay which resulted in a comeback victory for the Sharks and winning the series.
