Phil Kessel went into Saturday night scoreless in 10, with only one goal since the beginning of March, facing his former team in a game his ex-teammates must win.
Slump's over, obviously.
The Pittsburgh Penguins forward got No. 23 on the season to open the scoring, a snipe low blocker side, just like old times at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
That's Kessel's first goal and first point in six games since being traded by the Maple Leafs. He's got some timing.
Here's a more traditional replay:
