Former Wolverines forward Kent Johnson scored the "Michigan" goal in the first period of Canada's 5-1 victory against Czechia at the world junior hockey championships in Edmonton on Saturday afternoon.
Johnson, a first-round draft choice of the Columbus Blue Jackets, scooped up the puck in lacrosse-style behind the Czechia goal and scored the winner against goaltender Tomas Suchanek, who stopped 52 of 57 shots.
Canada teammate Brennan Othmann, a forward with the Flint Firebirds and a first-round pick of the New York Rangers, said he watched Johnson pull off the "Michigan" move in training camp and wasn't surprised Johnson tried the play in a game.
