A father-son duo made history and Nikita Kucherov’s point total reached remarkable heights. 4 things we learned in the NHL:
Normally when your team is killing a penalty, the objective is simply to try and prevent the opposition from capitalizing on its man advantage with a goal.
That school of thought doesn’t apply to some of the NHL’s select players, though, with Arizona Coyotes’ forward Michael Grabner qualifying as one of those individuals. While Arizona was killing off Florida’s power play midway through the first period, Grabner took advantage of a turnover, then sprung in on the breakaway and beat Panthers’ goaltender Roberto Luongo for the short-handed marker.
The goal was Grabner’s sixth short-handed tally of the season, which is all the more impressive considering the 31-year-old has only appeared in 33 games and has nine goals total on the campaign. Grabner’s finish also helped the Coyotes’ establish a new franchise record for most short-handed goals in a season with 16.
