Chris Higgins pulls off stunning assist during Belfast Giants victory (Video)

The EIHL’s Belfast Giants, Puck Daddy's favorite EIHL teamare tied atop the league standings through four games after this weekend where they won back-to-back matches.

Saturday’s win was a 6-2 defeat of the Manchester Storm, which featured this acrobatic assist from Chris Higgins (no, not that one) on the Giants’ sixth and final goal:

How do you explain that chemisty? Well, Higgins and Michael Forney, who scored the goal, played together with the Gwinnett Gladiators (RIP) of the ECHL back in 2009-10.

Higgins is in his second stint with the Giants, having played last season in Nottingham after scoring 18 times and recording 50 points with Belfast in 2013-14.

What a heck of a way to top off a home opener.
