The Walleye came back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Kalamazoo Wings 4-3 after a shootout on Friday and Rankin’s beauty was the game-deciding goal.
It’s been an impressive week for Rankin in the highlight reel goals department. He scored one of his three goals Wednesday night via this pretty backhand.
