This goal scored by Columbus Blue Jackets forward Artem Anisimov is going to be one of the most bizarre goals you are going to see scored this year. Blue Jackets defenseman Nikita Nikitin went to take a shot and fell down, but as he fell he managed to knock the puck back to Anisimov. Anisimov chopped at the rolling puck, which was deflected by a Canadiens defenseman, and then the puck flew high up in the air and managed to bounce into the net. Montreal Canadiens goalie Peter Budaj was run into by Jared Boll, so I’m surprised the goal wasn’t waved off because the interference was just enough to keep him from stopping this bizarre goal from happening.
