The NHL Play of the Year showdown is into final round, where Anaheim Ducks centre Ryan Kesler goes head-to-head with Detroit Red Wings sniper Gustav Nyquist.

Kesler’s tally was a stellar shorthanded effort as he slithered between a pair of Coyotes and then snapped the puck past Mike Smith, all of this happening with Sam Ganger basically hanging off his back. 

Nyquist's effort for the Wings is such a long and determined one that the play had to be sped up for time constraints. The crafty Swede holds the puck for half a minute, completing two full circuits of the Ottawa Senators zone before finally letting go of the puck. Once he unloads, the ping of the bar and the bulge of the net tells the Sens they had lost before they could even track the shot.
