Shane Doan’s Hail Mary Pass To Jordan Martinook For Game-Winner Against The Kings
The Arizona Coyotes were tied 2-2 in the 3rd period facing the hated Los Angeles Kings. Shane Doan flipped the puck into the air from his own end on a lead for Jordan Martinook.
Martinook batted the puck down before a stunned Drew Doughty could react. The move gave him a split second opening on the perennial Norris Trophy candidate, and Martinook took the opportunity to beat Doughty and unleash a beautiful backhand past Jonathan Quick for the game-winner.
Martinook had not scored in 15 games prior to the Hail Mary in Glendale.
What a way to break the slump, though, and Max Domi and the team rewarded him for his hard work afterward with the player of the game belt.
