VIDEO: Hurricanes' Semin scores highlight-reel goal from stomach

James Guillory / USA TODAY Sports

Carolina Hurricanes forward Alexander Semin's time with the franchise hasn't always been delightful. He's been a healthy scratch, has gone into scoring funks, and was even on the trading block. 

Despite his problems in a Hurricanes uniform, the 31-year-old forward still knows how to put the puck in the net.

On Sunday, the Russian netted a beautiful no-look goal from his stomach, beating Edmonton Oilers netminder Richard Bachman in the second period of the contest. 

Semin, a one-time 40-goal scorer, had three goals and 12 assists entering play Sunday.
