Filip Forsberg showed off some of the breathtaking skill that made him one of the top players picked in the 2012 NHL Draft.
After a faceoff win by Matt Duchene, the Swedish forward skated around the net with speed, picked up the puck on his blade, and shoveled the puck on his backhand past Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith.

It looks like Evgeny Kuznetsov has started an end-of-season trend.
Just days after Kuzy attempted to score a “Michigan” lacrosse goal, former Capital Filip Forsberg tried his hand at it against the Sharks.

With a four-goal lead in the second period, Evgeny Kuznetsov got creative. Left alone behind the net, Kuznetsov noticed goaltender Ondrej Pavelec was not guarding the top corner of the twine. Kuznetsov picked the puck up with the blade of his stick and tried to score a lacrosse goal.
He ultimately failed, but that’s not going to stop him from trying again.

After scoring on a layup in the first period, Evgeny Kuznetsov amped up the difficulty on a second period shot attempt.
Noticing Ondrej Pavelec was not guarding the top corner of the net, Kuznetsov picked the pick up with the blade of his stick and tried to score a lacrosse goal.
Back in early July, Washington Capitals first round pick Jakub Vrana displayed his sick hands during Development Camp. The 18-year-old Czech had the most talked about play of the week, scoring during a scrimmage with a wild shootout move. In an interview with RMNB after camp concluded, Vrana said that the move was spur of the moment, something he thought of as he skated in towards the goalie.
On Thursday, Vrana, playing with the Czech Republic as part of the National Junior Team Summer Development Camp, tried again to get super creative against Canada. After taking a pass behind the net, Vrana attempted to scoop the puck up with his stick blade and score like a lacrosse player.
