Late in the first period, and the Boston Bruins leading the New York Rangers, 2-1, at the TD Garden on Saturday afternoon, the Bruins were giving a power play on a Mikea Zibanejad tripping penalty. During the man advantage, the Rangers were whistled for a second minor penalty when J.T. Miller was hit with a slashing penalty.
Those two penalties gave the Black and Gold a two-man advantage, and they supplied a ton of pressure on New York goalie Jonathan Quick, but failed to score before the period ended. At least that's what everyone thought.
Bruins credited with goal after period ended
As the two teams went back to their locker rooms and the ABC broadcast went to the studio, the NHL situation room in Toronto buzzed the TD Garden and said they had clear evidence that Zacha's shot went into the net before it was cleared by New York.
