Blue Jackets' David Jiricek: First NHL goal wins game

Jiricek scored a goal in a 5-3 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

It was his first NHL point in his fifth career contest, and it stood as the game-winner. Jiricek took a cross-ice pass and fired an absolute rocket from the top of the right circle. He's the 14th teenager in franchise history to score a goal. Jiricek figures to see a regular shift as long as Zach Werenski (quadriceps) is sidelined, but if the sixth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft continues to play well, he may not head back to AHL Cleveland.
