Adam Hunger / USA TODAY Sports

Catch and release.

Auston Matthews fished the puck out of the feet of Frans Nielsen and smoothly transitioned the puck to his backhand for a brilliant finish Wednesday versus the Detroit Red Wings.

It's the All-Star's 23rd goal, and it takes back a share of the provisional rookie scoring lead with Mitch Marner.
