A penalty shot. In overtime. In the playoffs. In Game 5 of a 2-2 series. Yeah.
Had Aleksander Barkov scored, he would have bagged one of those "Spacey in Space" hoodies for life from his Florida Panthers teammates. But New York Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss was having none of it.
The breakaway was awarded after Islanders defenseman Calvin de Haan was penalized for closing his hand on the puck in the New York crease.
It was only the third penalty shot in overtime playoff history, and we've yet to see a goal. The goalies are perfect.
