Watch: Kessel flips puck over net, Hornqvist bats in goal

Phil Kessel came to Pittsburgh as an elite goal-scorer, but the veteran winger has proven to be far more in his second season with his new club.

Kessel and linemate Patric Hornqvist combined for a gorgeous opening goal Sunday against the Florida Panthers, the former lobbing an alley-oop pass over the net before the latter batted the puck out of midair and into the cage.

The flashy assist was Kessel's 41st of the season, while the goal was Hornqvist's 18th of 2016-17.
