Winnipeg Jets winger @Nikolaj Ehlers scored a highlight-reel goal against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.

After picking up the puck in the Jets&#8217; defensive zone and winding up for a rush behind his own goal line, the 25-year-old Dane carried it all the way over the Flames&#8217; blue line before blasting a slap shot over the glove of goaltender @Daniel Vladar.
