Now that's precision.
Washington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom showed off his incredible accuracy on Wednesday night, firing a shot through the narrowest hole between Radko Gudas' legs and over the catching glove of Michal Neuvirth.
The goal was Backstrom's 18th of the season and puts him in a tie with Mark Scheifele for fourth in league scoring with 62 points.
