Mitch Marner's through-the-legs goal is the NHL goal of the playoffs

Mitch Marner just gave hockey fans THE goal of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs with this between-the-legs beauty. On Thursday, the Vegas Golden Knights played the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 of their second round playoff matchup. The Golden Knights came into Thursday night's game leading the series 3-2, with Anaheim at home trying to keep their postseason dreams alive.

Unfortunately for the Ducks, things didn't start well at all, as just a minute into the game, Marner got himself a breakaway opportunity. While Marner was denied a scoring opportunity on the rush on goal thanks to some good defense, that didn't deter the former Toronto Maple Leaf. Instead, Marner turned around and took the puck in between his legs before slipping it past Lukáš Dostál for the opening tally.

MITCH. MARNER. MAGIC.
