Vladimir Tarasenko now owns not one, but two of the NHL season’s best goals so far this year. Following his ridiculous effort versus the New York Rangers earlier this week, Tarasenko scored another beauty against the Devils on Thursday.
In the dying seconds of the first period in St. Louis, the 22-year old Russian received an offensive zone pass from a teammate and stick-handled his way through three (THREE!) Devils defenders before faking out the goalie and burying the only goal of the period.
This guy is pretty damn fun to watch.
