Zach Hyman's Unconventional Goal: Off the Face Score in NHL Win.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Athletic
Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman scored a strange goal off his face during a power play in the team's 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings, putting the Oilers ahead 3-2 in their best-of-seven playoff series. Hyman was in his usual spot in front of the goal, creating screens and havoc, when the puck caught him just under the chin and deflected into the net. Hyman said he had felt it, but he would take the trade-off any day for a goal. The Oilers followed a familiar and successful script, with two more power-play goals and two even-strength goals from Hyman's new centre, Nick Bjugstad.
