The NHL says it has determined that Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly did not direct a homophobic slur at an official during Monday's 6-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Last Updated Tuesday, March 12, 2019 4:11PM EDT
Television cameras picked up what sounded like a slur with 1:51 left to play in the second period as Rielly and Tampa Bay's Yanni Gourde skated into Toronto's defensive zone. The NHL launched an investigation into the alleged incident shortly after the game when clips began appearing on social media. The league did not say if the slur had been used, just that it wasn't uttered by the Toronto blue-liner.
