Rank, his replacement, has been an NHL referee since 2015. The game was 0-0 at the time of Rooney's injury. A few minutes later, Florida defenseman Seth Jones broke through with a goal.

Hockey fans are angry at the NHL referees for a controversial call against Jack Dury in the Avalanche-Stars gam.

Panthers' Sam Bennett scored his team's first goal of the game in controversial fashion, and an NHL referee analyst believes the goal shouldn't have counted.

That could result in discipline for the Stars forward. Per NHL rules, making contact with a game official is strictly prohibited and could result in a major penalty or even an ejection.

Garrett Rank is a full-time NHL referee, but also an accomplished amateur golfer. He will play in the 125th U.S. Amateur, starting Monday at the Olympic Club.
