The Arizona Coyotes didn’t realize they had scored a goal against Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward on Thursday night. Then again, Ward had no idea, either.
In one of the most bizarre scoring sequences in NHL history, the puck became lodged in Ward’s right skate before he stuck his leg entirely inside the net to position himself to make a save. Play was stopped when the puck was clearly missing. A linesman came over and poked the puck from Ward’s skate.
“That first one was probably one of the weirdest goals I’ve ever seen,” said teammate Jeff Skinner, who contributed two goals and an assist in an eventual 6-5 Hurricanes victory.
The sequence was reviewed by the NHL situation room, and a goal was awarded to the Coyotes at 8:27 of the first period in Raleigh, North Carolina.

When you think that Butt Goal can't get any crazier you get this.
Thats very fucking strange.
If you score with your skate (basicly kick the puck or slide it with your foot) it doesnt count. But when it gets stuck you can do it.
A new era of jamming that puck into your skate and kicking the goalie is about to happen
I was watching.
The way the officials handled this is ridiculous. Lost sight of the puck, no whistle. Puck caught up in a player's equipment, no whistle blown. So, by this logic if the puck gets stuck in someone's gear the other players can just whack him with their stick until the puck comes free. If that were an Original Six goalie, there wouldn't have been a goal awarded to the Coyotes.
