Ducks’ Trevor Zegras tosses alley-oop pass over the net for one of the best goals of the NHL season

HOW?

You’ve never seen a goal like the one Trevor Zegras just helped make happen.

During the second period of the Anaheim Ducks matchup against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, Sonny Milano broke the ice for the visitors in a big way. With the puck on Zegras’ stick behind the Sabres net, the 20-year-old pulled back like he was readying to attempt a lacrosse-style goal.

However, instead of putting the puck on net, Zegras then tossed the puck up and over the goal cage — alley-oop style — to a waiting Milano in front of the net, who tapped in the 1-0 goal past goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. It’s a goal that has to be seen to be believed, because it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds.

Just… wow! I’ve never seen a goal like that ever in my time watching hockey. Here’s a slow-mo replay of Zegras’ magical pass to Milano up and over the net once more, just for fun.

And look at their reactions!!! Zegras is just completely stunned while Milano is as hype as can be.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best goals we’ve seen in the NHL this year. It’s right up there with Connor McDavid making the entirety of the New York Rangers look like complete fools with this one-man effort back in November.

What incredible creativity from Zegras and what skill from Milano to put it home.
