P.K. Subban may have won the Breakaway Challenge on Saturday, but Matt Duchene had a beautiful goal of his own.
Donning a cowboy hat for the Nashville fans, the Colorado Avalanche forward used one hand to get the puck between his legs and flicked it past New Jersey Devils netminder Cory Schneider.
The 25-year-old, who has 23 goals and 19 assists this season, admitted he's been preparing for the Skills Competition for a long time.
Matt Duchene said he's practised his stick tricks since he was 14 on backyard rink in Haliburton. Thinks 14-year-old self was better at it.
