By soft-tossing it in front, Zegras is fully committed to the attempt, of course, and at risk of wasting possession of the puck in a high-danger area. We often see players try to scoop the puck while circling the net at full speed, but in reality it's a low-risk decision because failure only results in maintained possession. The first thing that stands out is the sheer audacity to try the move. It's everything else that went into the highlight which helps it close the gap when assessing the very best from the season so far. In fact, the pick-up is a basic trick that just about any NHLer and most minor hockey players could manage in the time and space provided at a practice, or when looking to assist an official with a retrieval between whistles. Speaking purely to skill, this goal has nothing on the tasting menu provided by Connor McDavid so far this season.
