A Norris Trophy winner gift-wrapped Ivan Barbashev's first career goal.
For some reason, Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson decided it would be a good idea to drop the puck back in front of his own net, giving the 2014 second-round pick a glorious opportunity to score, which he made full use of.
Barbashev, who was playing his sixth game for the St. Louis Blues, had recorded 19 goals and 18 assists in 45 games for the AHL's Chicago Wolves earlier this season.
