Ivan Barbashev scored the decisive goal with 4:58 left in a 3-1 Vegas win in Las Vegas after linesperson Bevan Mills let play continue.
Coach Joel Quenneville said the play was clearly icing and argued Anaheim players may have let up, while ESPN rules analyst Dave Jackson said the wave-off was a judgment call.
Mikael Granlund had tied the game 1-1 shortly before Barbashev struck, Mitch Marner added an empty-netter, and Vegas now lead the Western Conference semi-final series 1-0 before Wednesday's Game 2.
