Devin Shore’s oddity of a goal was the result of years of playing a different sport.
“Yeah, 15 years of lacrosse paid off, I guess,” Shore said with a smile after the Dallas Stars beat the Arizona Coyotes 4-1 on Thursday night.
Shore also had an assist during Dallas’ three-goal second period, and the Stars extended their winning streak against the Coyotes to seven. Arizona has lost seven of nine overall, though this was its first game in a week thanks to the All-Star break.
Shore tied it at 1 in an atypical way when he lifted his stick to bat in the puck after Jason Spezza chipped it over the goal from behind the net.
