17/02/2024 - LA Kings @ Boston Bruins

Brandt Clarke out of baby jail, off to commit more crimes in the Bruins net. His first NHL goal and the OT game winner!

[Image ID: 2 gifs of Los Angeles Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke (#92) vs the Boston Bruins. They are the same sequence from 2 different angles. Clarke, who has just exited the penalty box during overtime, receives the puck off a stretch pass that bounces off the boards. It is a clean breakaway, with no defenders close enough to intervene. Clarke approaches the slot in stride. Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark (#35) postures far outside of the crease and attempts to stay square with Clarke on his approach. Clarke widens his stance as he nears the crease, balancing on his edges, and dangles the puck back and forth. He keeps his head up, waiting for Ullmark to commit to a block. Ullmark, still far up in the crease, leans in to trap the puck with his glove. Clarke stick handles the puck to his right one last time, around Ullmark's glove hand and into the net. Ullmark, who is stretched out to catch the puck, falls onto his back. The Kings score a goal. Clarke glides away with his hands in the air and one leg sticking up. /.End ID]

Bonus: the Kings form an orderly puppy pile <3
