Thompson's slapshot – the hardest on target

Don't get in the way of Tage Thompson's slapshot. It feels guaranteed. When the Buffalo forward sent in 3–2 against Washington, the speed was measured at 166 kilometers per hour.

A shot that was recorded as the season's hardest, which went into the goal, reports SVT.

Buffalo won 4–3 after penalties, but it was Thompson's powerful shot in the middle of the second period that became the match's talking point.

Buffalo's Swedish team captain Rasmus Dahlin set up Thompson, who sent off the record shot.

A week ago, he sent off a projectile against Dallas that reached 170 kilometers per hour, but the puck didn't find its way into the net.

Anyway, the shot was the hardest recorded in the NHL during the four seasons the league has measured shot speed.
