Sam Reinhart opened the scoring in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday, and did so with some style.

Early in the first period, the Florida Panthers forward stole the puck in the neutral zone, danced around an oncoming defender, then pushed towards the net where – as he was falling to the ice – he got the puck past Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner.

The fancy deke move and sliding goal gave the Panthers an early 1-0 lead and put the crowd at Amerant Bank Arena in a frenzy.

Later in the period, Matthew Tkachuk scored to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead.
