Going yard on Tuesday night was Minnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson. Up two goals over the St Louis Blues with 12 seconds left in the game, Gustavsson got the puck and sent it soaring. Airborne through the entire neutral zone, the puck settled and stayed on course, hitting the back of the empty net, locking in the Wild's 4-1 win and securing Gus's place in legend.
I came to the bench on the timeout, and Fleury's like, 'Hey, are you going to try to shoot it if you get it now that we're up two goals?' I was like, 'Yeah, actually, I should shoot it.' This goal was the first of many to come. I should be on the power-play meetings now.
It's great that it got in there,” Gustavsson said. “I didn't know I could shoot it that far in the air. This was a career first for me. It was a great moment.
