Late in Game 7 against the Vegas Golden Knights, San Jose Sharks winger Timo Meier entered the offensive zone at full stride. Defending him was 37-year-old Deryk Engelland, veteran of 10 National Hockey League (NHL) seasons. Meier slowed, pulling the puck back toward the blueline. As Engelland extended his stick back toward the puck, Meier slid the rubber disc under the defender’s stick and retrieved it on the other side of his now-turned around opponent. The young Shark easily maneuvered between Engelland and the goal, mere feet away from what would surely be a Sharks goal.
