GIF: Martin St. Louis scores on seemingly impossible backhand
During Saturday's game against San Jose, Martin St. Louis broke into the Sharks' zone on a breakaway; after being initially stopped by Antti Niemi, St. Louis buried the rebound with a simply incredible backhand.

The goal was St. Louis' 23rd of the season, and he would add his third of the first period with less than ten seconds to go in the frame.
After his first goal of the day, he had already extended his league-high points streak.
St. Louis has five goals, three assists in 7-game points streak that is the league's longest current.

But, you know, he's not an Olympian. Well done, Canada.
