Milestone game, unforgettable goal.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Kirill Marchenko played in his 300th NHL game on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres and marked the occasion with a superb between-the-legs goal during the first period.
Marchenko snuck into the slot from the left corner, took a feed from John Tavares with his back to the net and did a 180-degree turn while sliding the puck back between his legs before reaching through with his stick and burying it in the top right corner of the net.
The veteran forward, who spent four seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets before being traded to Toronto in September. wasn't done there, however.
Marchenko added a second, a snipe from the left circle and completed the hat trick by finishing a perfect pass from Colton Sissons from behind the net.
All in all, a night to remember for Marchenko in just his 8th game with the Maple Leafs.
