wrist shot

With a powerful wrist shot against the New York Islanders, he notched the 895th goal of his NHL career to surpass Gretzky and claim for himself what had seemed like one of the last untouchable records in all of sports.

Nurse, given plenty of space in the high slot, doubled the advantage on a wrist shot that got just under the crossbar late in the second period; Frederic made it 5-2 just 96 seconds later on a tip-in from the crease at the end of an Oilers’ breakaway.

However the lead lasted less than three minutes before Kane tied it on a wrist shot from the high slot.

Quinton Byfield scores his 13th goal of the season on a wrist shot 27 seconds into overtime to give the Kings a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues.

Garland — who had a power-play goal in the second period — lofted a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle under the blocker of goalie David Rittich for his 16th goal of the season.
