Video: MacKenzie dives forward to score incredible goal

MacKenzie goal

The Florida Panthers displayed a lot of determination in their first goal against the Winnipeg Jets tonight.

Panthers forward Dave Bolland had to blindly shovel the puck forward just before he was slammed into the boards by Adam Pardy, leaving Derek MacKenzie to race for the puck as it cruised towards Jets goaltender Michael Hutchinson. In order to create a scoring chance, MacKenzie dove forward and managed to knock the puck past Hutchinson.

You can see that impressive sequence below:

This is a critical game for both teams as Florida battles to make up a six-point gap in the Eastern Conference to earn a Wild Card spot. Winnipeg is in possession of the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, but the Jets only have a one-point edge over the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.
