Something that Bruins fans have seen many times before, Milan Lucic barrelling down the wing before ripping a shot past the opposing goalie.
Looch Ties it in Vintage Style
The Calgary Flames hosted the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night, needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Down 4-3 in the third period, Lucic flew down his off-wing and fired a shot past Lukas Dostal to tie it.
Look familiar Bruins fans? See below:
The Flames would end up taking the lead with just over two minutes remaining and held on for a 5-4 win. Looch, now 34, has seen his numbers decline in recent years, as the veteran is up to 7 goals and 12 assists in 72 games this season.
During his eight seasons in Boston, Lucic had a career-high 30 goals in the 2010-11 season, along with two 20-plus goal campaigns: 26 in 2011-12 and 24 in 2013-14.
