Andrew Shaw wasn't the only member of the Chicago Blackhawks who employed soccer skills in the Western Conference Final against the Anaheim Ducks.

The play was ruled a goal on the ice and upheld on review.
Here's the explanation from the league:
At 13:45 of the second period in the Chicago Blackhawks/Anaheim Ducks game, video review supported the referee's call on the ice that the puck deflected off Marian Hossa's skate and into the Anaheim net in a legal fashion. According to Rule 49.2 'A puck that deflects into the net off an attacking player's skate who does not use a distinct kicking motion is a legitimate goal.' Good goal Chicago.
The Ducks answered about five minutes later, as Ryan Kesler cut Chicago's lead to 4-1 before the end of the second period.
Shaw thought he won Game 2 of the series after heading the puck past Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen in double overtime, but that goal was disallowed.
