Hurricanes' Walker makes perfect pass under leg of sliding defender

Logan Stankoven's first NHL hat trick started off on the right foot - or rather, under the right leg.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker made an amazing pass - sliding a perfectly placed puck just under a sliding defender right on the tape to Stankoven for his first goal of the night.

​

Walker took the puck up the right side on a 2-on-1 rush. Vancouver Canucks defenseman Filip Hronek did his best to slide in front of the pass, but Walker's dish sunk right under the small space between Hronek's knee and skate, both on the ice.

Once the pretty pass was through, Stankoven did the rest.

Now, it's unconfirmed that the play then led to Stankoven scoring twice more while also picking up his 100th NHL point in addition to the hat trick, but hey, it definitely didn't hurt.
