Watch: Tkachuk scores Forsberg-esque shootout goal to seal Flames win in Anaheim

Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk clinched his team’s 4–3 shootout win over the Anaheim Ducks with an unbelievable one-handed move past opposing goaltender John Gibson.

Through one round of the shootout, the Flames led 1–0 off a goal by Johnny Gaudreau. Ducks defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk failed to convert in the second round, setting the stage for Tkachuk to potentially win the game.

Tkachuk swung to the right side before cutting to the left as he approached Gibson. As he neared the crease, Tkachuk took one hand off his stick and dragged the puck over to the right as Gibson slid the other way.

The result: A shootout goal closely resembling Peter Forsberg’s iconic stamp-worthy tally in the 1994 Olympics (or, if you prefer, David Schlemko’s shootout winner from his Flames debut back in 2015).

Here’s the video of Tkachuk’s shootout goal, as posted to Twitter by the verified Calgary Flames account:
