You normally wouldn't think a pretty goal and Jordan Nolan would ever have anything to do with each other, but Los Angeles Kings rookie Linden Vey somehow managed to combine the two on Saturday night.

Midway through the first period against the Vancouver Canucks, Vey led a counterattack down the right side of the ice. He then pulled off one of the sweetest dekes of the season to set up Nolan's goal.

The Kings still lead 2-0 after one period.
