by from on (#117KK)
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Vladislav Namestnikov might have scored the most creative goal of the NHL season.
From behind the Edmonton Oilers' goal, the 23-year-old reached over the net with his stick to bat a flying puck down into the net. After review, it was ruled Namestnikov made contact with the puck below the crossbar, and the goal was good.
