The Islanders goal scored Tuesday night off a facial deflection was pretty weird and wild.
But Zach Hyman of the Edmonton Oilers topped him just hours later.
In the Oilers’ 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings in Game 5 of their opening-round playoff series, Hyman — who scored the overtime game-winner in Game 4 — was in front of the net when a slap shot from Evan Bouchard hit him right in the face … and then went into the net. It counts, although Hyman was of course in some pain.
It won’t surprise you at all to know that Hyman stayed in the game.
