"I saw the goal; I was happy for him," Eeli told NHL.com. "He'd been trying that a couple of times, and now he's got it. It was good for him."
Eeli scored his first NHL goal against the Chicago Blackhawks on Dec. 1, so each brother has a goal in his season. Eeli said he'd welcome a goal-scoring challenge when each returns to Vihti, Finland after his hockey season.
"I think there's going to be a lot of competition when we go home for the summer," Eeli said. "That's a good thing."
