VIDEO: Ducks' Etem undresses Jets' Trouba for sublime goal

Marilyn Indahl / USA Today

Emerson Etem's first playoff goal since 2013 was too much for Jacob Trouba to handle.

Etem entered the Winnipeg Jets' zone along the left side boards late in the opening period of Wednesday's Game 4 with Trouba closing on him. The Anaheim Ducks forward waited for Trouba to swipe at the puck before pulling it to his backhand and sliding around the Jets defenseman, leaving Trouba watching from his knees.

Etem finished the play by lifting a backhand shot over a diving Ben Chiarot and past Ondrej Pavelec's glove to tie the contest 1-1.

Trouba won't be allowed to forget about that move for a while.
