Vancouver Canucks center Henrik Sedin scored a one-handed empty net goal while sliding down the ice on his backside to wrap up Wednesday night's 4-2 victory over Calgary in their NHL season opener.
Sedin approached the empty net after skating around two Flames defenders. Despite being knocked onto his rear end, he kept control of the puck by kicking it before guiding the puck into the goal with his stick. Sedin topped it off by crashing into the net.
Ladies and gentlemen, hockey is back!
