Sophomore defenseman Aaron Kim, trying to protect his goalie, rushed off his own bench and shoved Jelenic before the officials could separate the two.
Kim was sent to the box for two minutes for hitting after the whistle. Jelenic was assessed a ten-minute game misconduct, but Murphy called no additional penalty on Yale, meaning Harvard would be shorthanded for two minutes.
The penalties didn't stop there. The next three penalties were all called on Harvard, two in under a minute.
While both coaches declined to comment on the Jelenic incident, each expressed dissatisfaction with Murphy's officiating.
"There were certain things that were let go that should've been called, and other things that were very close," Mazzoleni said.
"The officiating played much too big a factor," Taylor said.
Yale would score with a two-man advantage at 14:48 to tie the game at three, but Harvard killed off the remaining penalty time and would not allow another goal in the period.
"The coaches did a good job keeping us on an even keel, when it could've gotten out of hand," Kolarik said. "We maintained composure and that was the key to the victory."
