Not only does Malkin score slapshot goals on a breakaway, however he can also score while performing a spin-o-rama, like he did on Carey Price in 2012.

You don’t see spin-o-rama goals often in the NHL because it’s tricky to execute. The puck cannot fall back behind the player, and if a spin-o-rama is not executed properly, that’s what often happens. We can say that Malkin did in fact execute this spin-o-rama perfectly, though.
