It’s the preseason, but TJ Oshie’s dangling is in mid-season form.
After the Caps and Blues could not decide things during regulation and overtime, the game went to a shootout. Osh was the Caps first shooter and boy did he deliver.

Oshie skated in holding the puck on his forehand, forcing Carter Hutton deep into the net. Right before he reached the crease, Oshie deked hard to his backhand and then back to his forehand, before chucking the puck to the top of the net.
Burakovsky would win the shootout in the fourth round after using a headfake and going five hole on Hutton.
