Rookie Anthony Mantha brought Detroit Red Wings' fans to their feet Thursday when he scored his first NHL goal in a 4-3 win against the Montreal Canadiens. The goal also brought his grandfather, former Red Wings and Canadiens forward Andre Pronovost, to tears.
Pronovost, a left wing who won the Stanley Cup four times in a row with the Canadiens (1957-60) and later played three seasons with the Red Wings, was caught on camera with a tear in his eye as Mantha's family celebrated the goal.
