Replay of the Day: Lupul’s slick catch-and-shoot

Replay of the Day: There’s a reason Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul already has 21 goals this season, just seven shy of his career mark, which was set back in 2005-06 with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. (Yes, Mighty.) The man is resourceful.

Watch as Lupul reaches behind himself to snare a hard-enough one-timed point shot from Dion Phaneuf, quickly drop the puck to his stick, and beat Edmonton Oilers goaltender Devan Dubnyk glove-side.

Lupul’s goal would restore Toronto’s two-goal lead on Monday, and the streaking Leafs would go on to win 6-3 at home.
