Caufield Dances, McDavid Creates & Rookies Take Over | NHL Week 13 Best Goals

Week 13 delivered a full highlight reel of skill, effort, and late-game drama across the NHL. Justin Brazeau opened the week with a diving effort goal, while Cole Caufield pulled off one of the slickest toe drags of the season against the defending champions. Connor McDavid continued his artistry with a brilliant assist against Boston, and Thomas Chabot’s smooth skating helped set up a beautiful finish for his teammate.

Juraj Slafkovský went coast-to-coast and sniped from a sharp angle, Mikko Rantanen stole the puck and roofed a sneaky backhand, and the Rangers connected on a gorgeous passing play outdoors in Miami at the Winter Classic. Mikael Granlund created offense straight off the faceoff, Gabriel Landeskog powered home a wraparound, and Dougie Hamilton ripped a sharp-angle goal.

Auston Matthews showed his power forward game, but rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer matched it with authority before sealing the night with an overtime winner. Robert Thomas dazzled with puck control, Sidney Crosby completed a comeback with an OT deke, and more power moves followed from Sam Bennett, Michael Carcone and Andrei Kuzmenko to cap another loaded week.
