Auston Matthews 15th goal of the season. Unreal one-handed deflection. pic.twitter.com/aIYS6EkpZD

3. v. Anaheim Ducks
Deflecting a puck is something that is worked on a lot by players to try and perfect the craft. James van Riemsdyk is a good example of someone who is good at it. Sidney Crosby is a great example of someone who is great at it.
This example of Matthews deflecting the puck into the back of the net is just pure excellence. As seen here, he simply skates to the front of the net and reaches his stick out with one hand to gently redirect the puck past John Gibson.
Again, just so everyone read it correctly. He did this with only using one hand. Truly remarkable.
