But they’ll take the long-sought victory on a night they’d managed just three shots in the opening period and snapped a scoreless deadlock on their fourth attempt of the game early in the second thanks to Yamamoto’s breakaway stickwork.

His highlight reel is full of shifty stickwork, nifty moves and shots that leave goaltenders helpless to stop them.

Dallas got even at 1-1 on a power play with 4:18 left in the first period after some nifty stickwork by Robertson, who deflected Miro Heiskanen’s shot from just inside the blue line up into the air.

At the other end of the ice, nifty stickwork can result in goals even the world’s best in net can’t stop.

Hockey players sacrificing their bodies to block shots or passes gets the headlines, but savvy stickwork is also on full display across the NHL playoffs, from blocking passing and shooting lanes to deflecting shots past unsuspecting goaltenders.
