IIRC the outdoor OT goal by Winnipeg last year was off a similar missed assignment /mix-up by Tkachuk and Ryan.

How about Gio not being able to mess up Laine's scoring attempt with a fumble and back pressure. D-men get credit for a quick stick... Gio did nothing to stop a scoring attempt and had a slow stick. He was likely planning to take away the pass but did not react to the play as it played out.
