Orlov scored a highlight reel goal in Saturday's 7-3 blowout over Colorado

EDGE Analysis

An early candidate for "goal of the year", Orlov made a between the leg shot off goaltender Calvin Pickard's left shoulder, who thought he had it in his gear, only for Orlov to track the rebound behind the net for a wide wraparound goal on a wide open net. His first goal since March of 2013, Orlov now has points in back-to-back games, and is starting to pick up where he left off after missing all of last season recovering dealing with setbacks following offseason wrist surgery in June of 2014. While his ice time remains limited in a deep defense corps, the former second-round pick is showing glimpses of his talent, so don't be surprised if his role increases as the season unfolds.
