History was made at PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday night, with Boston Bruins rookie Jakub Lauko scoring his first career NHL goal.
Skating in just his sixth-career game, Lauko got on the board by sniping a first-period tally by Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry. The 22-year-old was set up by the surging Nick Foligno to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead.
The rookie winger hasn't had a perfect start to his career, being sent up and down a couple times throughout Boston's historic start. Despite a couple healthy scratches, Lauko has brought speed to the Bruins' fourth line when he slots into the lineup, having drawn a number of penalties to impress head coach Jim Montgomery.
Lauko will look to ride his momentum into more time on ice for Boston throughout the remainder of the season.
