Maybe it was the shootout goal, when Jakub Vrana skated across the net and, just as he reached the far post, extended his right hand back and slipped the puck past Tampa Bay’s Curtis McElhinney to beat the Lightning and give the Detroit Red Wings one of its more unlikely wins of the season.
Or maybe it was Vrana’s puck-seizing, blast down the ice against the Carolina Hurricanes, when he juked a defender, exploded into a crease, and opened his right shoulder to the goalie before backhanding the puck into the upper right corner.
