McDavid Dominates, Celebrini Dances & Bedard Makes an Instant Impact | NHL Week 14 Best Goals

Week 14 delivered elite skill, creativity, and statement performances across the NHL. Logan Stankoven and Mikko Rantanen traded highlight-reel goals against the teams that once traded them, while Simon Holmstrom tucked one in while sliding behind the net. Rookie Easton Cowan finished a beautiful tick-tac-toe play against the defending champions, and Connor McDavid took over with two highlight-reel goals, including a penalty-shot finish.

Elias Pettersson spun and sniped, David Pastrnak froze the goalie with a fake before going short side, and Cole Caufield batted a pass down and scored in one smooth motion. Rookie Macklin Celebrini danced through the Kings defense, while Montreal combined soccer and baseball on a kick-pass and bat-in finish.

McDavid later returned with a skate-to-stick deke, Connor Bedard made an immediate impact in his return by creating offense, Matty Beniers nutmegged Jaccob Slavin and scored on the breakaway, and Martin Nečas capped the week by breaking ankles before feeding Cale Makar with a perfect cross-ice pass.
