NHL Saturday: Phil Kessel bests Maple Leafs in first reunion
see all updates

Marian Hossa has never won a Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward in his 18-year career, but he made a play worthy of the honor on Saturday.

The Chicago Blackhawks were nursing a two-goal lead in the third period against the Columbus Blue Jackets when Hossa tailed a Blue Jacket through the neutral zone, pick-pocketed him and drove back up ice for a tally.

Hossa is 36 years old, has back problems and can still outskate anyone on the ice. He is a national hockey treasure, no matter which team you’re a fan of. Cherish him.
