This is one goal Kris Russell clearly wishes he didn't score.
The oft-maligned Edmonton Oilers defenseman shot the puck into his own net on a clearing attempt with about a minute left in a tie game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.
Russell's blunder would hold up as the game-winner for the Leafs, who prevailed 6-4.
