Andre Burakovksy scores between his legs in Goal of the Year candidate

"As the Chicago Blackhawks forward skated in front of the cage, Burakovsky caught a pass from Connor Bedard on his blade, but with his back to the net and with almost no space between two Winnipeg Jets defenders and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. So, he had to get creative. In about a half-second of time, the 30-year-old forward pivoted onto his forehand and shot the puck between his legs, beating Hellebuyck for a sensational goal."

"Burakovsky, in his first season with the Blackhawks, has posted 7 points (3g, 4a) in his first 10 games. Thursday, he skated on the right wing of the first line with Bedard at center and Ryan Greene on the opposite wing. "I thought that line was pretty good to be honest with ya," Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said when asked about Burakovsky's tally."

Andre Burakovsky scored a creative between-the-legs goal after receiving a pass from Connor Bedard with his back to the net and limited space between defenders and goalie Connor Hellebuyck. The 30-year-old pivoted onto his forehand and shot the puck between his legs to beat Hellebuyck, cutting the deficit to 5-3 with under five minutes remaining. Chicago ultimately lost 6-3 after Kyle Connor scored late. Burakovsky has seven points (3 goals, 4 assists) in 10 games, skates alongside Bedard and Ryan Greene, drew praise for skill from coach Jeff Blashill, and was acquired from Seattle with two seasons left on his contract.
