Metallurg Magnitogorsk and Salavat Yulaev Ufa went head-to-head in KHL action on Tuesday night and while there were only three goals in the contest, one of them ended up being a Goal of the Year candidate.

In the opening frame of action, Alexander Kadeikin got the opening goal of the game in a very impressive way that involved a block shot and absolutely filthy move.

After blocking the shot at his own blue line, the former Detroit Red Wings prospect chases down the loose puck and pulls off one of the most incredible behind-the-legs goals we have ever seen at any level of hockey.
 

In 16 games this season, the 25-year-old has registered four goals and five assists for nine points after scoring just seven goals and 10 points last year.
