Let me out!

Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault was let out of the penalty box later than he should have been thanks to some very confused penalty-box officials during Vegas' meeting with the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday night. Marchessault was understandably upset.

Fellow Golden Knights forward David Perron and Hurricanes defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk were each sent to the sin bin for roughing, but Perron was given an additional two minutes, which was served by Marchessault.

Since Perron and van Riemsdyk's minors were offsetting, each of them would have to wait for two minutes and a whistle before leaving the box. Marchessault should have been let out immediately after the two minutes, but he was not.

Thankfully for Vegas, and the on-ice officials - who should have had better communication with the penalty-box officials - Carolina did not score during their extended power play.
