William Karlsson makes this goal happen before the final pass. Instead of forcing a carry against a set defender, he one-touches the puck low and immediately starts the forecheck. Then he checks his shoulder, identifies Brett Howden driving the middle, absorbs contact behind the net, and still executes the backhand feed. That’s the detail: he doesn’t just make a skilled play — he makes the right play early, then wins the next play with awareness. What’s the smartest part of this sequence to you? #hockeyiq #nhl #goal #assist #highlight
