Former Penguin Paul Martin is still helping his old team it seems. Pittsburgh's Phil Kessel benefited off a double deflection goal that started with Martin's skate and ended with goaltender Martin Jones on a wacky goal.
Phil Kessel nets double skate deflection goal thanks to some great puck luck

— Stephanie (@myregularface) December 2, 2015 What looked to be a harmless pass to the front from Kessel turns disastrous for the Sharks. The puck deflected off Martin's skate as the defender was cruising by to tip the pass away. Instead, the puck took a crazy bounce toward Jones and the gaping hole near the post. The skate of Jones then deflected the puck up and into the goal and he was none the wiser as to the crazy path it took for Pittsburgh's opening score.
Certainly a memorable one for Kessel, who put up his eighth of the year with the unintended goal.
