Although he may have only put up 23 goals last season, his lowest goal total in a full season since 2007-08, Kessel has sniped many important goals for the Pittsburgh Penguins. A lot of the goals he scored were actually quite marvellous.
Here’s my personal choices for his top five goals of the 2016-17 season.
