Tim Thomas's left shoulder

The 35-year-old [Alexei] Kovalev's best was on display in Game 2 on Saturday. He scored the game winner 2 1/2 minutes into overtime with a blistering power-play slap shot over goalie Tim Thomas's left shoulder.

I remember it well - the shot flew over Tim Thomas's right shoulder. See it here. Also, is it slapshot or slap shot. This short wikipedia page has the title, Slapshot, but starts, and continues, with slap shot before switching abruptly to slapshot near the end of the page. How 'bout some consistency?
