Lukas Sedlak scores first NHL goal in a memorable night

Well, it finally happened.

Lukas Sedlak, a centerman for the Columbus Blue Jackets, scored his first career NHL goal in the 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

The long-awaited goal happened at the 13:30 mark in the 2nd period when Sedlak held position around the net when the puck came his way via Sam Gagner and Markus Nutivaara and he took advantage of the moment.

Our reporter Dave Maetzold even presented the young Jacket with the very special puck.

Surely, there will be more to follow.
