Mike Cammalleri picks puck off his skates for crazy backhand goal

A lucky bounce and some magical dekes.

Mike Cammalleri certainly made the most of this New Jersey bounce. With the New Jersey Devils up 1-0 on the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins, Cammalleri picked a Jordin Tootoo pass from the boards off his skate and turned it into a goal worthy of a highlight reel.

Cammalleri benefits from a lucky bounce off his skates as he kicks the puck forward to his forehand, before putting moves on Penguins netminder Jeff Zatkoff and sliding it home five-hole to double the Devils lead in the second period.
