Alex Carpenter didn't break stride as the pass from Cayla Barnes reached her, extending her stick at the perfect moment to hit the puck and deflect it past Canadian goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens.
Her goal during last week's Rivalry Series was unbelievable, an almost sixth sense type of display of skill for a player that's long flown under the radar.
But Carpenter will get the chance to take centre stage with PWHL New York in the team's inaugural season, showcasing the skill and scoring touch that made her one of the team's first free agent signings back in September.
New York is built from the ground up on defence, boasting three of the best young Canadian defenders in captain Micah Zandee-Hart, alternate captain Ella Shelton and Jaime Bourbonnais.
