Who is Kent Johnson? Blue Jackets prospect pulls off Michigan goal ... (Sporting News)

If you are familiar with Kent Johnson's game, then you know he isn't afraid to try anything with the puck on his stick. Which is why it should come as no ...

He's strong with the puck on his stick and able to read defenders' body language to get by them. It's fitting that the Michigan goal came from a Michigan man. Mike Legg, a forward at the University of Michigan, completed the scoop-and-score goal during a game in 1996. It was a move that did not work in the NHL back during those times, when a player likely would've been crushed if they attempted the move. In the first period of Canada's game against Czechia on Saturday, Johnson scooped up the puck behind the Czechia net. Which is why it should come as no surprise that he was able to pull off a Michigan goal for Team Canada at the 2022 World Juniors.

While Johnson's impressive feat would stand as the game-winner, defenseman Jack Thompson was named Canada's player of the game after notching two assists. "You only see that so often, so for him to pull it off on a national stage and in front of all the fans here is pretty cool. Shortly after, Johnson dazzled with the lacrosse goal. It's just a shocking moment, I think, for everyone in the building." The Columbus Blue Jackets forward pulled off a lacrosse-style Michigan goal late in the opening frame to give Canada its first lead of the game. "It was between him and ( Mason) McTavish."

Mason McTavish, however, got the show started minutes before Johnson’s goal, as he banked a Jack Thompson point shot into the net off his leg. Just 36 seconds into it, however, Slovakia’s Martin Rysavy — who plays for the WHL’s Moose Jaw Warriors — streaked down the ice on a partial breakaway tinging the left post as the puck deflected into the top of the net and back out. Dangling in a phonebooth, Johnson swiftly lifted the puck on his stick tucking it into the top corner of the net.

Mazur is tied for second in tournament scoring with six points (four goals, two assists) and is plus-6 in three games. "Before he gets the puck, he knows what he wants to do and he did it. He had COVID last time so he couldn't come to the winter one (tournament) because it got cancelled but to have him here is pretty special, especially with his 87th birthday today." Johnson added an assist in Saturday's victory, led the team with nine shots on goal and was plus-1. Johnson was successful twice with the Trail Smoke Eaters of the British Columbia Hockey League. "Kent Johnson should be called Magic Johnson," TSN draft analyst Craig Button said during the broadcast.

Our emotions got to be in check and we have to stay connected as five out there." "It's pretty much standing in front of the net and doing some flash screens and kicking out when the guys need help.

Here you got to stay the same way and keep working as hard as you do in pro." "It hurt a lot," said Foerster, who was picked 23rd overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2020.

"I think the boys like it so far. It's got a good ring to it."
