Alright. Now Dylan Strome's done everything at the major-junior level.

The former No. 3 overall selection of the Arizona Coyotes scored one of the stranger goals you'll ever see in an Ontario Hockey League game Wednesday night.

The Erie Otters center had his stick ripped away by a defender who had lost his own, and Strome began protesting to officials while his team kept possession in the offensive zone. He finally gave up when he spotted his opponent's stick, and skated over to collect it. Within seconds, he had the puck on his (opponent's) stick, executed a quick give-and-go, and snapped an insurance tally into the back of the net.

Strome celebrated emphatically, raising the stick as high as he could while sitting back on one leg. But when the captain realized he wanted his own back, he carefully approached the opposing bench to initiate an awkward exchange.

It was Strome's 107th goal and 326th point over the space of four seasons with the Otters, but certainly one of a kind.
