Panthers Ian Mccoshen Scores First Nhl Goal

But on Thursday, the 22-year-old finally scored his first career goal just 1:26 into the second period.

McCoshen, who got the pass from Connor Brickley, tied the game up 1-1 with his goal.

Not only was the goal his first in the big leagues, it also marked a huge turning point for the Panthers. Vincent Trocheck found the back of the net just 90 seconds later, and then Jared McCann scored seven minutes into the second period to give Florida a 3-1 lead against St. Louis. 

Talk about an ideal time for your first goal.
