Michael Dal Colle puts puck in own net on delayed call, starting major comeback for opponents (video)

If you've been wondering what former 5th overall pick Michael Dal Colle has been up to lately, he's currently a member of TPS Turku of the Finnish Elite League. Dal Colle managed just 112 games in the NHL since being taken by the New York Islanders in 2014, and this may be some indication as to why.

TPS was taking on Porin Ässät Friday, and winning the game 3-0, when a Porin player was called for a penalty. Turku's goalie left the net, while the puck was knocked out of the offensive zone. Turku decided to make a line change to get some fresh players out on the delayed call. Dal Colle picked up the puck and it seems like he either tries to put it into his defensive zone for a teammate to pick up, or he mistook one of the officials for a member of his team. Either way, he makes a clear and deliberate shot which ends with the puck in the back of his own net. The goal was credited to Porin's goaltender Niklas Rubin, as he was the last member of the team to touch it before it went into the net. Even worse for Dal Colle, this marked the first of four straight goals for Ässät as the team won the game 4-3 in a shootout.
