The Minnesota Wild defeated the Edmonton Oilers on Friday thanks in part to a ruthless shootout move Eric Staal pulled on Cam Talbot.
Watch him nearly remove the netminder from his crease before neatly tucking a backhand into the exposed net.
Devan Dubnyk then stopped Ryan Nugent-Hopkins at the other end, clinching the extra point.
