Positioning himself at the far side of the net, Detroit Red Wings forward Adam Erne skillfully settled a bouncing centering pass with the in-blade of his right skate.
He was just getting started displaying his emerging offensive arsenal on the Red Wings’ lone goal in the 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last Saturday.
Avoiding the harassment from all-world goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, Erne, while falling, stickhandled the puck from his backhand to his forehand and, in fluid motion, stuffed the puck past the red line.
