Vityaz Chekov forward Evgeny Timkin, 21, scores a beautiful shorthanded goal on Thursday versus CSKA Moscow in a Kontinental Hockey League match.

While we don’t typically make a big deal out of KHL highlights, that Timkin follows up a spin-o-rama with a between-the-legs shot is worth 30 seconds of your time. Remember: This is an actual professional hockey game, not a shootout exhibition.

Chekov went on to win the game 2-1, and presumably scarf sales skyrocketed.

Interesting side note: CSKA is the team former NHLer Alexi Yashin plays for.
