Filip Forsberg continued his incredible second half of the season with a highlight-real goal Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche.
The 21-year-old scored his 32nd goal of the season - bringing him one shy of the Nashville Predators' single-season record - by going between-the-legs and lifting the puck past Semyon Varlamov to give his team a 2-0 lead.
The goal was his 18th since the All-Star break, bringing him even with Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin - who also scored Tuesday - for the most in the NHL at the time. Ovechkin would retake the lead with another goal later in his game against the New York Islanders.
