Panthers prospect does it all on his own for a super impressive goal



Curtis Valk put together a very impressive WHL career with the Medicine Hat Tigers from 2009-2014. In 270 games, the Medicine Hat, Alberta native scored 125 goals and added 130 assists for 255 points, but he ended up going undrafted at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Despite not hearing his name called, Valk earned an invite to the Vancouver Canucks training camp that same summer and was demoted to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets. After spending time in the both the ECHL and the AHL, Valk finally made his NHL debut with the Florida Panthers last season. With his North American career currently on pause, the 25-year-old is playing overseas in the KHL with Barys Astana.

This past Saturday, Valk had quite the night as he put up three points (1 goal, 2 assists) in his team’s 7-3 victory over Dinamo Riga and his goal was one that you’ll want to watch over and over again.



After receiving the pass at his own blue line, Valk turned on the jets and made his way through the opposing team with ease, avoiding a few hits along the way, for his third goal of the season.



Through his first nine games in the KHL, Valk has three goals and four assists for seven points.
