That escalated quickly.
The puck, that is, fired from the back of T.J. Oshie's stick and past Kari Lehtonen of the Dallas Stars for quite the impressive goal.
The tally was Oshie's 25th of the season, bringing the Washington Capitals winger to within one of his career high.
It also brought Washington to within one in an eventual 4-2 loss.
