Adam Hunger / USA TODAY Sports
With a quick flick of the wrist, insurance was bought.
With his team holding on to a one-goal lead on the road in the third period of an Eastern Conference Final deciding Game 7, Ondrej Palat absolutely rocketed a wicked wrist shot past Henrik Lundqvist to double his Tampa Bay Lightning's lead over the New York Rangers.
The goal was assisted by Tyler Johnson - who earned his playoff-leading 21st point of the postseason - as well as goaltender Ben Bishop.

The goal was Palat's seventh of the playoffs.
