Video: This Ryan Johansen goal to the top shelf is pretty nice

Ryan Johansen made it look easy.

The Nashville Predators center won a defensive zone faceoff and 10 seconds later was celebrating a beautiful goal that saw Johansen drive to the net at high speed and go top shelf with his shot, beating Thomas Greiss over the glove on the short side to give his team a two-goal lead over the New York Islanders in the second period.

Nice little pass in the neutral zone from James Neal to hit Johansen with speed, too.

That was Johansen’s 12th goal of the season.
