Yegor Sharangovich sent a wrist shot from the top of the left circle to the net, which led to a loose-puck scramble. Sticks from both teams waved around, and Zary\u2019s, apparently, was the one to connect and sneak it past Jeremy Swayman for the 2-1 win.<\/p>\n<p>Zary had been manning the top of the crease, but it\u2019s possible a Bruins stick knocked the puck in, which theoretically could mean it\u2019s Sharangovich\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ultimately a clerical matter more than anything, but even after watching the replay postgame, Zary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/bruins\/news\/boston-bruins-calgary-flames-game-recap-december-29-2025-x5105\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told reporters<\/a> they don\u2019t know who actually should\u2019ve gotten the credit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve watched it a few times, I don\u2019t know (how it went in),\u201d Zary said, via NHL.com. \u201cMight have to play rock, paper, scissors (for who gets credit).
