Pavel Datsyuk returns, scores highlight-reel (disallowed) goal

By @MichaelCaples –

Pavel Datsyuk returned to action last night for the Red Wings’ game against the Canadiens in Montreal. While the Wings ended up losing in overtime, Datsyuk still managed to create a highlight-reel play during his 18:05 worth of ice-time. The goal didn’t count, due to goaltender interference, but it was still remarkable. Check it out right here:

 

Datsyuk picked up an assist on the Red Wings’ only goal of the evening, scored by captain Henrik Zetterberg. He finished with an even plus/minus, skated for 23 shifts, and had one shot blocked.
