Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov scored one of the prettiest goals of the season Tuesday.

Midway through the second period, Orlov entered the Dallas Stars end and put the puck between his legs before firing a shot over the glove of goaltender Ben Bishop.

It was an incredible effort, but teammate John Carlson took exception after the Capitals' PR team failed to give the goal the praise he felt it deserved.

Luckily, the NHL's Twitter account saved the day with a description of the goal that was to Carlson's liking.
