Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau gave his team a 1–0 lead just 10 seconds into Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings.
After Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson dumped the puck into the offensive zone off the opening draw, Kings goaltender Cal Petersen came out of his net to help his teammates take possession.
Instead, the puck went directly to Gaudreau in the left corner. The 28-year-old winger immediately fired the puck back at Petersen, who was in the process of returning to his crease.
Gaudreau’s plan worked to a tee: the puck bounced right off Petersen’s equipment and into the back of the Kings’ net to make it a 1–0 game.
