Tarasenko buries centring pass to give Panthers two-goal lead
Watch as Vladimir Tarasenko caps off a hustle play by burying the centring pass, giving the Panthers a two-goal lead in the third period of Game 6.
Who else would it be?
In the Edmonton Oilers‘ biggest game of the year and the chance to punch a ticket to their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 2006, it was none other than the captain who opened the scoring.
And in true Connor McDavid fashion, it was an absolute beauty of a goal.
Taking the pass from teammate Leon Draisaitl on the power play, the two-time Hart Trophy winner danced around two Dallas Stars penalty killers before sliding the puck past Jake Oettinger for the first tally of the night.
With all eyes in the hockey world on this consequential Game 6, here are some of the best reactions to McDavid’s highlight-reel marker.
