Video: Coyle snaps scoring drought with brilliant individual effort

ROGj7cuLFjLv
After trading opening goals it's Charlie Coyle who strikes for the Wild and break the tie. Coyle takes a one-handed pass from Jason Zucker and makes some impressive moves to bury the puck.

Charlie Coyle ended his 21-game scoring drought with an absolutely beautiful, determined individual effort during the second period of Game 4 between the Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars.

Coyle forced a turnover from Dallas defenseman Alex Goligoski at the Minnesota blue line, then made a dash to get open for a potential breakaway pass. Having to contend with Goligoski on the back check, Coyle managed to corral the bouncing puck as he entered the zone and quickly deked to his left, beating Antti Niemi.

That was quite a response for Minnesota, too. Coyle’s goal came just 1:03 after the Stars got on the board, tying the game at 1-1 courtesy a rocket of a shot from Ales Hemsky.
