McDavid decided to score by putting a puck between his legs from an impossible angle for his 40th goal of the season against the Dallas Stars.
Just a split second before, McDavid was headed the opposite direction, out of the zone, but Leon Draisaitl intercepted Stars defenseman Esa Lindell's attempt to clear the puck.
McDavid saw that, turned on a dime, started toward the net, took Draisaitl's feed and somehow put the puck between his legs beat Stars goalie Anton Khudobin high on his blocker side shooting from behind his own left leg.
If the description of the play doesn't make much sense, the video of the play makes even less, until you realize McDavid is a wizard and can do whatever he wants with the puck anytime he touches it.
Watch this one again and again in slow motion to fully appreciate it.
