How exactly did he do that?
With his team facing an early 1-0 hole at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins (thanks to former teammate Phil Kessel), Toronto Maple Leafs winger James van Riemsdyk buried the equalizer after deftly tapping the puck out of midair to himself while somehow staying onside.
The goal was challenged by the Penguins due to an apparent offside, but it was upheld, giving Van Riemsdyk 27 on the season.
