First NHL goals are special, but Blake Lizotte's was particularly unique. The goal came as the Kings were down 2-0 against the Montreal Canadiens at Centre Bell.
"It was the time of the game where we needed a goal," Lizotte said.
"We were playing aggressive and the way we needed to and that's what created chances for us," Austin Wagner said.
As Wagner threw the puck on net, Lizotte was in front of Carey Price to swat it into the goal.
"It didn't really hit me until after the game," LIzotte said. "That was a special one for sure"
Wagner pulled the puck out of the net - which will surely be treasured by the Lizotte family for years to come.
"I'm happy that you got it and I got to be a part of it," Wagner said.
