The Los Angeles Kings scored six goals against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, but one in particular was especially noteworthy.
Kings winger Tyler Toffoli scored his team’s third goal of the contest while short-handed in the first period. The 22-year-old made Oilers defenseman Brad Hunt look foolish as he toe-dragged across the ice and sniped a top-shelf shot that’s deserving of endless replays.

The announcers didn’t seem very enthused, maybe because Edmonton isn’t exactly the most formidable opponent. Regardless, it’s arguably the prettiest goal of the NHL season up to this point.
Toffoli’s second tally of the year helped the defending Stanley Cup champions improve to 2-1-1 on the season.
