Why Wild got bizarre OT game-winning goal vs. Predators even though puck never went in the net

The Minnesota Wild scored a game-winning goal Tuesday night without the puck ever going into the net.

Yes, it's as weird as it sounds.

The Wild were tied 2-2 after regulation with the Nashville Predators , and they put together a slick passing move to create an open scoring chance.

The puck was flubbed wide, but as that was happening, Nashville's goalie knocked the net out of place. And that made all the difference as Minnesota was awarded a goal and a 3-2 win.
