May 15 (UPI) -- Mitch Marner scored one of the most ridiculous playoff goals in recent memory, sliding the puck between his own legs in a Vegas Golden Knights series-clinching victory.
Marner netted the inventive finish just 62 seconds into the 5-1 triumph over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 of the second-round series Thursday in Anaheim, Calif. With the victory, the Golden Knights won the series 4-2 and advanced to the Western Conference final.
"I tried to do that move and, luckily enough, it worked out," Marner told reporters.
Marner's shot was the first attempt of the night. The Golden Knights netted three of their five goals in the first period. They were outshot 32-21, including 28-12 over the final two periods. Net minder Carter Hart made 31 saves in the win.
