It was one of those 'How did that go in?' moments
David Pastrnak has scored a lot of goals in his 10 seasons with the Boston Bruins.
His fourth goal of the season came in the second period of Bostonβs game against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night and it was β¦ well, something you absolutely had to see.
Skating to the net, Pastrnak was tripped from behind by Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic before the Bruins sniper could fully release the puck.
Somehow, someway the puck ended up past San Jose goalie Kaapo Kahkonen and into the back of the net, giving Boston the 3-0 lead.
The internet had a field day with the bizarre finish.
According to the NHL Public Relations, Pastrnak has recorded 40 goals since the turn of the calendar year which is the most among all players.
With four goals in three games, if Pastrnak keeps up this pace, he should notch his second 50-goal season.
