3. Nazem Kadri v. Edmonton Oilers

This goal is just special. All night long, Nazem Kadri was a thorn in McDavid’s side. He did it all without taking a penalty and at the end of the night, Kadri had the better game. More so when he outmuscled McDavid to get the overtime winner as seen above.

Kadri receives the pass with limited time and space so, he just pokes it past McDavi giving him some open ice. However, the NHL’s point leader in McDavid isn’t easy to beat. The two battle for the puck and Kadri comes up with it.

He has just enough room to deke a couple times and ends up sliding the puck past the goaltender. It’s such an incredible goal when you think who he beat. Not just for the goal but, in the entirety of the game.
