Goal of the Season? Slafkovsky pulls slick move around Sharks defense for score

Juraj Slafkovsky showed off his silky mitts on Tuesday.

The Montreal Canadiens forward danced around the San Jose Sharks defense for a slick goal in the second period of the teams' matchup at Bell Centre.

Just one minute into the second period, Slafkovsky received the puck at center ice and brought it over the blue line to the Sharks zone. He then sent the puck between Sharks defenseman Darnell Nurse’s skates and weaved around Nurse to retrieve the puck with his backhand.

Slafkovsky brought the puck back to his forehand and easily shot it past Sharks goalie Alex Nedeljkovic to give the Canadiens a 2-1 lead.

It was the young forward’s second goal of the season. He also recorded an assist, his fifth of the year, on teammate Nick Suzuki's first period goal.
