I challenge anybody to hit a puck out of the air with a stick like that, two games in a row.” “It’s hard enough to hit a round ball with a round bat. “That’s two games in a row now where Sonny Milano has knocked one out of the air,” Eakins said. And that was a really special goal.”Įakins was as impressed with the finish from Milano, who has scored in three straight and has six points on a four-game streak. “These kids think out of the box now,” Eakins added. “He wasn’t, so I was just like, ‘Just do it.’ I was like, ‘Michigan, Michigan,’ and he ended up just throwing it to me and I batted it in.”ĭucks coach Dallas Eakins marveled at how Zegras “believes he can do anything with the puck” and said that during his NHL playing career from 1988-2004, “there was not a chance that any of us could do that with a puck.” “I expected him to do the Michigan himself before I even called for it,” Milano said. Milano was ready for the pass but said he initially wanted Zegras to keep the puck and try for a wrap-around, lacrosse-style goal, like the one Mike Legg famously scored for the University of Michigan in 1996. For him to whack it out of the air and keep it under the crossbar was pretty incredible.” I’ve tried it a couple of times and haven’t even come close. “I still can’t believe it worked,” said Zegras, who celebrated the goal with both hands on his head.
Sonny Milano was waiting on the right edge of the crease and batted the feed past Luukkonen’s glove for his eighth goal 5:14 into the second period. Zegras scooped the puck onto the blade of his stick behind the net and lobbed it over goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s head.
