WATCH: NHL Star Makes TERRIBLE Shootout Fail

Wednesday night's hockey game between Buffalo and New Jersey at the Prudential Center went into overtime and it was up to Devils star Ilya Kovalchuk to keep his team alive. Kovalchuk approached the goal, but lost control of the puck before he could take a shot, giving Buffalo the 5-4 victory.

"The puck rolled off my stick. That's what happened," Kovalchuk said after the game.

The Devils winger has scored three goals this season, but none in the last seven games. According to Tom Gulitti of The Record, Kovalchuk said he has never been through something like this before.
