VIDEO: Canucks prospect Nicklas Jensen scores with "Forsberg deke" in the shootout
Utica Comets forward Nicklas Jensen, who has battled injury and struggled enormously to start this American Hockey League season, scored his first goal of the year on Sunday in a game between the Comets and the Lake Erie Monsters.
Jensen's second period goal levelled the score at two apiece, a score which held up until the shootout. In the skill competition, Jensen pulled off a phenomenal move - the cross body backhand deke, which is commonly known as the "Forsberg deke" - to help his team take home the extra point:
