This is becoming a recurring event. Former North Dakota forwards Nick Schmaltz and Jonathan Toews are playing on the same line and they seem to have incredible chemistry together. This afternoon, the two hooked up again to score the Chicago Blackhawks first goal of the game against the LA Kings.
The Blackhawks would go on to lose the game 3-2, but it doesn’t really matter, the Blackhawks are already in the playoffs and the Kings are playing out the string.

Here’s a second look at the goal from further out. It reminds me of a move you’d from SEGA Hockey.
