Dylan Larkin dazzles with impossible angle goal below the red line

Great goal by the rookie, awful positioning by Anderson.

Dylan Larkin continues to amaze for the Detroit Red Wings. The 19-year-old rookie from the University of Michigan now has five goals in 18 games for Detroit after catching Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson sleeping between the pipes.

Larkin starts the play with great speed around an Ottawa defender, evading the hip check and swinging wide around the circle. The forward stickhandles to the red line, then lets go a quick wrist shot that hits Anderson’s back and in for the opening Red Wings score.

As impressive as Larkin’s move was, Anderson deserves equal blame for even allowing the goal. His inability to cover the post left a gap wide enough for Larkin to shoot in and off the netminder.
